Goodbye

Occurred to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well, I guess it takes while For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright, and wide, and blue And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Today my heart is big and sore It's tryin' to push right through my skin I won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinkin' in 'Cause you can't make somebody see By the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away But I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye --- Goodbye - Patty Griffin
