Say Goodbye

by Doris Muramatsu

It's a simple day outside.
The sun is the only thing shining,
Not a cloud in the sky.
No hint of you.

I will always regret
Never hearing your best secrets.
And your mind with all its witty jokes,
Your hand restless, reaching for another smoke.

Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.

And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.

It's a matter of faith.
Shut your eyes and believe that it will take.
Though it's hard with these doubts, I know with no doubt,
That you're resting somewhere great.

Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.

And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.
