If you'll say goodbye
Because you're tired enough to stay,
I thank you for the moments we had
And the chance to think of you each day.
If you'll say goodbye
Because you want to see a different view,
I thank you for giving me your eyes
And the opportunity to see only you.
If you'll say goodbye
Because another love awaits out there,
I thank you for telling me once
That you love me and you'll never find another.
If you'll say goodbye
Because you want to save your being,
I thank you for the time you gave me—
That to you, my presence was worth something.
If you'll say goodbye
Because change hit you hard,
Thank you for keeping me long enough.
I love you and you'll always be in my heart.
