Lyrics

(Verse 1)
It's a call that you always fear
come away, come away in tears
and you think that you must be dreaming
can my good friend really be gone

(Verse 2)
Spend the day reliving all the memories
tidal waves you feel the love descending
and you wish that time was more forgiving
it hurts to think that you waited too long
but this will not be our final goodbye
it's just so long 'til we meet again

(Chorus)
What I wouldn't give for another day
just to celebrate the time we had
and I wouldn't miss a second chance
to say the things that went unsaid

(Bridge)
Summer days sitting in the shade
I can feel the world just melting away
you and me in a place of peace
us hanging out enjoying the scene
goodbye my friend
not a day goes by that you're not missed
kept alive my friend
in the hearts of us you will always be
goodbye, goodbye

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

(Outro)
I'll say now what I wanted
dear friend so lucky that I was to have know you
