Goodbye, Goodbye

This may not sound quite right
But I find I've made up my mind
After all of this time
To say goodbye to goodbye

Goodbye only makes me sad
When losing the friends that I have
When it's their turn to come up to bat
When they have no time left

Goodbye is too cruel a word
Goodbye is best if it's left unheard
Being that there is no cure
When goodbye occurs 

And that is exactly why
After all of this time I find
I've made up my mind
To say goodbye to goodbye

Heaven is where no one ever has to say "goodbye."
