It's Only Goodbye - Gentle Giant

Strange though we made it, in those days that were bare

What pulled us through them, something was there

I can remember, drifting apart

Thoughtless ways much stronger

As the time grew longer

One for one not always

Then you said to me…

It’s only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when

I think of you know, in kindness allow.

My memory lingers, then

It’s only goodbye, my strength telling lies

Just facing what had to be

Mixed my reflections, did we think it was real

Was it forever, fear not, just feel

You had your troubles, yes I had mine

Weren’t we both for sharing, No not really caring

I would realize that, when you said to me…

It’s only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when

I think of you know, in kindness allow.

My memory lingers, then

It’s only goodbye, my strength telling lies

Just facing what had to be

It’s Only Goodbye…
