Saying Goodbye
As I stand here in a crowded room
I feel utterly alone
Something is missing inside me
A part of me is now gone
In the morning with my eyes open
To see the first light of the day
I turn my head to your side of the bed
Then quickly turn away
Moistness fills my eyes
Rolls down my puffy cheeks
The covers get pulled up high
Underneath my chin
I don't want to ever
Get out of our bed again
How will I say good-bye?
How will I live?
How am I to go on living?
For all that you once did give
I want a chance to say goodbye
To your handsome face
To show you just one more time
How much I truly cared
And to let you know that when you leave
To me you will always be very near
In my mind and by my side
In my heart and soul
You may have left the earthly plain
But I will never let you go
It's hard to say goodbye
To the ones we truly love
As they lower your coffin in the ground
I raise my head and look around
The sadness in the eyes I see
The tears flow as a river in spring
You are loved past the day you died
And honey no one wants to say goodbye
It's too hard we will all cry
A tear for memories we shared
