(When the Time Comes for) Saying Goodbye

When I was a child I had a favorite friend.
We played after school everyday.
But one day she cried big tears
from her eyes
as she told me she was moving away

Chorus:
Oh, how I cried then to think of how
I’d miss her
A big hole in my heart.
Never knowing when I’d see her again.
And oh, how I still cry when the time
comes for saying goodbye

I turned seventeen and went away
to school.
so excited for life on my own.
But when I arrived I could not deny
that all I wanted to do was go home

Chorus:
Oh, how I cried then to think of how
I’d miss them.
A big hole in my heart.
Never knowing when I’d see them again.
And oh, how I still cry when the time
comes for saying goodbye

Now here we are. We stand face to face
a powerful moment, I know. Yes, I’ll se you again.
But it’ll never be the same.
And I’m feeling so sad as I go.

Did I tell you I love you enough that
you’ll remember?
Did I show you I care from the core of
my soul?
Do you know that you’ll be with me every
step of the way?

You’ll be living in my heart. That’s the
Very best part.
And some day I will smile as I look back and say.

Chorus:
Oh, how I cried then to think of how
I’d miss you.
A big hole in my heart.
Never knowing when I’d see you again.
And oh, how I still cry when the time
comes for saying goodbye
And now I know that angels cry when the
Time comes for saying goodbye
