I’d like to go on singing
But I know I have to go
We’ve gone through ev’ry song I know
You’ve held the harmony
I know it’s time,
I know it’s time to go,
Thank you for the laughter,
And the tears you shed on me.
Instrumental
I won’t forget the moments
We’ve been through
Cause memories warm the edges
Of tomorrow’s chill
But we can’t stay here forever,
No, we can’t stay standing still
Good feelings come too seldom,
And they always come too few,
I know I’m better off
When I linger here with you
But don’t you see our ice melts more
With every passing song?
And I don’t want to say that if
We stay we’ll fall right through,
So I’ll thank you once again
And then I’ll say “So long”,
So long, ... so long
