The Day I Said Goodbye

The day I said goodbye Sympathetic raindrops cried Or was it just my tears That I sensed and tried to hide The day I said goodbye Apprehensive church bells chimed Or was that just my heart Contemplating plans well timed Was it just illusion Flashing signs bidding farewell Chanting windshield wipers Good luck, good luck, they enspell As I faced my journey Jubilant, though with a sigh Bittersweet, my feelings For the day I said goodbye

Every bit as wonderful and profound as "In the Distance," Mike. And that's going a long way... Best wishes, Gershon
