Lyrics
HOW DO I SAY GOOD BYE
by Apryl Dawn Lilburn
copyright 1997
Verse 1
I see your face
Ghosted on a field of wheat
And I can see you sittin' on the couch
As my children play at your feet
I see you fryin' up potatoes
On the stove in your trailer house
But these are just leftover memories
I wish I could really see you now
Chorus
How do I say good bye
When I've just said hello
We've had such little time
Now I'm s'pose to let you go
God be with my heart
God be with my soul
'Cause I don't think I can ever let you go
Verse 2
I see you walk down to the creek
To help a little boy fill it with rocks
You hold my hand in the church
As the pastor gives his Sunday mornin' talk
You sit surrounded by family
We eat, and then you nap on the couch
These are just leftover memories
I wish I could really see you now
Bridge
A picture on my wall
And a candle in my heart
Is all I have to hang on to you
