I've known this day
Was on it's way
For some time
But I kept you here
Because of fear
Of letting go
Please forgive my selfish heart
I couldn't find the strength to play my part
The passing hours age these scars
I never thought it would be this hard
When we were young
And life was fun
I found you smilin'
That sideways look
Was all it took
To know you were mine
And as the years went racing by
A haze of graceful aging filled your eyes
I always knew we'd reach this part but
I never thought it would be this hard
Goodbye my friend
We have reached the bend
Those times we shared
I'll hold them dear
In my mind
Please forgive my selfish heart
I couldn't find the strength to play my part
The passing hours age these scars
I never thought it would be this hard
I've known this day
Was on it's way
