When the heart is young, it feels so good.
As the years slip by, it gets understood,
That the world turns without you.
Yeah, the world forgets about you.
Reminiscing the days gone by.
You could chase the wind,
you could touch the sky.
And time seemed forever,
So much to be discovered.
I see another picture in my mind,
You know I gotta take it in, every time.
CHORUS:
How does someone say goodbye-
How does someone leave behind your love-
How does someone say goodbye?
Only time can heal this heart of mine.
I'll take you with me for all time.
Now I'm sitting alone on a Sunday, noon,
I pause when I think of you,
And the me we had together,
The moments that we shared.
Like a flower fading in the desert air.
Life can change when you're least aware.
But the heart keeps the memory.
It's the heart that feels the pain.
You left us underneath the risin' moon.
I always knew the day would come,
But not so soon.
CHORUS:
How does someone say goodbye-
How does someone leave behind your love?
I'll take you with me for all time.
How does someone say goodbye-
Only time can heal this heart of mine.
This is what I pray.
BRIDGE:
Tell me Jesus, tell me why,
How sudden life can pass us by.
I see their faces in the eyes of the children.
I wish I could tell them goodbye.
CHORUS (repeats)
From a distant hill, came a young man's cry.
As the sun eclipsed the western sky.
Never say goodbye.
