Long Goodbyes

Down by the lake Warm afternoon Breezes carry children's balloons Once upon a time Not long ago She lived in a house by the grove And she recalls the day When she left home Long goodbyes Make me so sad I have to leave right now And though I hate to go I know it's for the better Long goodbyes Make me so sad Forgive my leaving now You know I'll miss you so And days we spent together Long in the day Moon on the rise She sighs with a smile in her eyes In the park It's late after all She sits and stares at the wall And she recalls the day When she left home Long goodbyes Make me so sad I have to leave right now And though I hate to go I know it's for the better Long goodbyes Make me so sad Forgive my leaving now You know I'll miss you so And days we spent together
