Lyrics
?Goodbye?
Lee Garland Copyright 2004
Verse1:
You?ve passed on to that golden place
It?s a sadness for those who remain
I?m gonna miss your shining face
And somehow bear the pain
You were taken suddenly
Just yesterday you were doing all right
Some things are beyond our knowing
Like when it?s time to return to the light
I love you Daddy
And now it?s time for me to sadly say goodbye
(Chorus) Goodbye
I never thought I?d have to say it right out loud
Goodbye
I still expect to feel you here with me somehow
Goodbye
I can barely get myself to say that word
Living without you
Is gonna be a hard thing to learn
Verse 2:
And I want to thank the Lord
For taking you so peacefully
I can see you together with Mom
In a place so heavenly
I always knew I was deeply loved
You showed me every day of my life
You brought so much joy to the world
I?m sure that now you?re surrounded with light
I love you Daddy
And now it?s time for me to sadly say goodbye
(Chorus)
