Goodbye - Ron Thal

I watched the sun go down today

I didn’t know it was so bright

I tried but I couldn’t pull away

Painted my squinting face with light

I watched the sun go down today

I watched the sun go down today

And as the daylight fades away

I say goodbye to yesterday

I saw my life flash by my eyes

Retasted 27 cakes

I saw the whole world pass me by

Relived a lifetime of mistakes

I felt a dying sun’s decay

I knew how empty was the sky

It slipped away through my embrace

I tried but couldn’t hold that tight

I watched the sun go down today

I watched the sun go down today

And as I watch the fading light

To ending days I say goodbye
