Saying good-bye to you
is like saying good-bye
to my favorite song.

Never able to listen
to the beauty of your voice
or see your body sway

The sweet smile
from whence the words
are sung


Sweet love we made
to every good song

every note etched in heartfelt memory

all should be so lucky just once in thier life
all should be so lucky

like having heaven in your hands
and having to let it go

what for
Every good song
still plays on the radio
on Cd and in my heart

I cannot say goodbye to
the very soul of me

Every good song
reminds me of being with you
and my love for music

now stings
every good song
used to bring a lilt to my voice
and boost to my step

now the tunes remind me
of what I have lost
and the love we shared

Saying goodbye to you
is like saying goodbye to every good song

for a musical fish like me
one who eats breathes and sleeps music

it's like being out of water
saying good bye to you
still listening to every
good song trying to breathe

the last breath before
getting tossed ashore
by this storm plagued life

Now you are just a memory
becoming more distant
my wounds reopened
by my love for you and every good song.

The music still plays
and the dancers have gone
the soul still prays

the last note has played out
do you think of me when the radios on

We did it so loving so long and
so sweet
to every good song
you will always be every good song
