Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanted you for life
You and me in the wind
I never thought there'd come a time
That our story would end
[Verse 2]
It's hard to understand
But I guess I'll have to try
It's not easy to say goodbye
[Verse 3]
For all the joy we shared
All that time we had to spend
Now if I had one wish
I'd want forever back again
[Verse 4]
To look into your eyes
And hold you when you cry
It's not easy to say goodbye
[Verse 5]
I can remember all those great times we had
There were so many memories
Some good, some bad
Yes, and through it all
Those memories will last forever
[Verse 6]
There's peace in where you are
Maybe all I need to know
And if I listen to my heart
I'll hear your laughter once more
[Verse 7]
And so I've got to say
I'm just glad you came my way
It's not easy to say goodbye
[Verse 8]
Goodbye
