This for Kelly Sanders, my good friend and band mate for many years, who passed away this week unexpectedly. I look forward to going back and recording this for real sometime and add some percussion, especially.
lyrics
“When It's Time To Say Goodbye”
You were just there moments ago
The way it's always been before
Riding a smile through country miles
The way the waves meet the shore
Driving through Devotion
To ponder the other side
Watching the stars dance in the sky
Where you now reside
But it's time to say goodbye
It ain't never easy
How does time slip away
In each moment of each day?
It's hard to take it in
Hard to know where to begin
And then to find the next line
When it's time to say goodbye
I know that we'll meet again
Cause nothing ever really ends
We're all just a part in the wind
Floating along while the world spins
Even as I write this song
The breeze picks up to move me along
It's like you're sitting right here beside me
somehow I think you always will be
If I try to say goodbye
It ain't gonna be easy
How does time slip away
In each moment of each day?
It's hard to take it in
Hard to know where to begin
And then to find the next line
When it's time to say goodbye
I know that we'll pull through
It's all you'd ever want us to do
To carry on your smiles and love each other,
while the years go by, the years go by
the sun still rises
As I try to say goodbye
With my heart up on my sleeve
Words just can't convey
Gonna have to take it day by day
It'll never be the same again
you were more than just a friend
So here's to all the good times
When it's time to say goodbye
