How to Say Goodbye

Tell me when the time we had slipped away

Tomorrow turned to yesterday

And I don't know how

Tell me what can stop this river of tears

It's been building up for years

For this moment now

Here I stand

Arms open wide

I've held you close

Kept you safe till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend

And how to harness up the wind

And how to say goodbye

Tell me why, why does following your dreams

Take you far away from me?

And I knew that it would

Tell me how to fill the space you left behind

And how to laugh instead of cry

And how to say goodbye

Here I stand

Arms open wide

I've held you close

Kept you safe till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend

And how to harness up the wind

And how to say goodbye
