Goodbye

[sphstcated_lady]

I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I"ll never forget how we promised one day
To love one another, though it wouldn't stay,
We always said we'd say
Goodbye

...
Let's say farewell with a sigh
Let love die

But we'll go on living
Our own way of living
So you take the high road
And I'll take the low
It's time that we parted,
It's much better so
But kiss me as you go
Goodbye

-Gordon Jenkins (modifications by Lydia)

Think of me,
think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me.

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me,
think of me waking, silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

Flowers fade,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have decisions, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!

-Charles Hart
