If I lose my concentration
Disappear from the conversation
Dont mind me
Im saying goodbye to a friend
I try to start each day out cheerful
But if my eyes get blue and tearful
Please understand
Im saying goodbye to a friend
I broke a dish while I was washing dishes
Fell to the floor in a millon pieces
Its not just something you can pick up in your hand
These little that shouldnt matter
Make something inside me shatter
And Im on my knees
Saying goodbye to a friend
Its like the end of an era
Like a scene in a rearview mirror
I thought Id got past it
Now Im looking at it again
Saying goodbye to a friend
All our secret dreams and fears
All thats left of those hard earned years
Kick up like dry leaves
And drift off on the wind
Just when I think Ive let it go
I catch a chill and that wind will blow
Im out in the cold
Saying goodbye to a friend
Its like the end of era
Like a scene in a rearview mirror
I thought Id got past it
Now Im looking at it again
Saying goodbye to a friend
