Goodbye

He slips into darkness
All I can see are his eyes
They long to say
What I already know

Death really is an end
And there are no good-byes

I want to say he lived a full life
But he really didn’t
I want to say he died happy
But he really didn’t
I want to say I was the name on the tip of his tongue
But I really wasn’t

So good-bye

Before they die
Be sure to say
I loved you in life
And I’ll love you always

This is the closest we get to good-bye
