You Gave Me Goodbye

Orange glow in a fading sky

Still air by the river

Dry grass sways as the night drifts by

One shape makes me shiver

Days slipped right through my hands

Like rain on distant lands

Don’t fade now, not today

Let me drift, don’t turn away

You gave me goodbye

Now you’re far, sky high

Memories are fading

Your smile lives in the picture

Orange glow as the night comes down

Soft steps on a narrow lane

Faces pass through the quiet town

Yet your warmth calls my name

Days slipped right through my hands

Like rain on distant lands

Don’t fade now, not yet here

Let me hold, let me hold, let me hold

My face... reflected in the river

The surface... rippling slow

My face... weeping, warping thin

Night’s soft veil... hides me

Do you give me goodbye?

Why don’t you stand in my sight?

Memories are fading

Your smile lives only in my picture

Now you’re far, sky high

Memories are fading

Still your smile lives in my heart

You gave me goodbye

But your shadow walks beside me

You gave me goodbye ...
