about

Another farewell song: this time its someone else who’s leaving for that better place.

lyrics

Don’t Say Goodbye

Heard you’re leaving town today
For a new and better life, well that’s ok
Toward thinner air and bluer skies
Just say so long
Don’t say goodbye

A wheel can turn without some spokes
But without the center, that wheel’s just broke
Now this old wheel’s been shot to hell
Don’t say goodbye
Say fare thee well

Now that red sun is setting strong
And I know, I know you must be moving on
500 miles before the dawn
Don’t say goodbye
Just say so long

Now my old friend, we’ve often been apart
Ah, but never, never, never in my heart
You wrote the words, I sang the tune
Don’t say goodbye
Say see you soon
I wrote the words, You sang the tune
Don’t say goodbye
Say see you soon
Just say so long
Don’t say goodbye
I’ll say fare thee well
Cause I don’t say goodbye
