As Good As Goodbye Gets - Gary Chapman

We said our last I love you’s

As we held each other tight

With years of tender feelings

Overflowing from our eyes

Now here I am with memories

All alone with no regrets

And that’s as good as goodbye gets

You did a lot of living

As you walked these earthly miles

It’s funny, though I’m crying

Still somehow, I have to smile

'Cause your life, your love, your laughter

Touched everyone you met

And that’s as good as goodbye gets

There’s a deep, deep sadness

That comes with letting go

But even though I’m grieving

There is peace and there is hope

'Cause everyone who knew you

Knew the heartbeat of your days

Your eyes were fixed on Jesus

Now you’re finally face to face

And I’ll meet you there in heaven

When my last sun sets

And that’s as good as goodbye gets

Yeah, that’s as good as goodbye gets
