Saying Goodbye

Through summer nights
And winter days
Through springtime flowers
And autumn's golden haze
We lived together in war and peace.

But now you're gone
And I must stay
And face this cold, cruel world
Just me.

I've cried I grieved
Both night and day
But found there is no other way

To live my life the way God planned
Unless I take the upper hand

And live my life
Not just for thee
I also have to live for me.
