Once Is Enough

~

Oh we never know where life will take us,

I know it's just a ride on the wheel

And we never know when death will shake us,

And we wonder how it will feel.

So goodbye my friend.

I know I'll never see you again,

But the time together through all the years

Will take away these tears.

It's okay now.

Goodbye my friend.

I've seen a lot things that make me crazy,

And I guess I held on to you.

We could've run away and left well maybe,

But it wasn't time and we both knew.

So goodbye my friend.

I know I'll never see you again.

But the love you gave me through all the years

Will take away these tears.

I'm okay now.

Goodbye my friend.

Life's so fragile and love's so pure.

We can't hold on but we try.

We watch how quickly it disappears,

And we never know why...

...But I'm okay now.

Goodbye my friend...

You can go now...

...Goodbye my friend.
