It’s time for me to say goodbyeI never thought that this day would comeThings in my life are changing so fastNothing will be the sameBut through this change and uncertaintyI hope that you will remain.It will be hard for a little whileAnd I will miss so very muchNo one to call up and tell of my dayOr make me laugh when I’m blueThough we may be many miles away, I’ll be watching you.CHORUS:And as I lay in bed with beams of moonlight shining throughMy thoughts and my prayers will be on youCause that same moon that is shining on meIs also shinning on you.Please don’t cry, it’s hard enough to say goodbye.I’ll be back for you, some day.Put a smile on your faceGive me one last embraceYou’re so special to meAnd I can’t wait to see you again.Remember the fun and the times we’ve hadI hope there will be many moreNow hold still as I memorize your face so I don’t forgetThe way you smile, the way you laughAnd your eyes so brilliant.I pray for you as I go to sleepFor your life and your walk with Jesus ChristAnd through this all I know that we can make it throughYou’re special to me and I care quite a lot for you.CHORUSPlease don’t cry, it’s hard enough to say goodbye.I’ll be back for you, some day.Put a smile on your faceGive me one last embraceYou’re so special to meAnd I can’t wait to see you again.
