Good-Bye Good Friend Songtext
von Howard Hewett

Where do I go from here?
This is the strangest feeling I ever felt
I′ve gotten so used to you being here
Can't get used to this emptiness

Because we′ve traveled so many roads together
We've been through ups and downs
It's hard to realize that the time has come to say

(Goodbye, good friend)
Goodbye, my good friend
(I′ll see you again on the other side)
I′ll see you again
(Goodbye, good friend)
My dear, dear friend
It's through love and faith we′ll share the victory
Very soon, we'll share eternity, yay


I know I′m thinking selfishly
'Cause where you′ve gone's a better place
But this feeling that's come over me...
The pain′s so deep I can′t explain
It feels like something inside me is tearing away
Oh, it hurt; oh, the pain
I know I got to come to grips within
In my mind I got say

(Goodbye, good friend)
Goodbye, goodbye, my good friend, oh
(I'll see you again on the other side)
I′ll see you again, hey
(Goodbye, good friend)
Oh, my dear, dear friend, oh
(I wanted you to stay, but now you've gone away)
I wanted you to stay, yay

Oh, some people say it′s the end of the road
They say "that's it; there ain′t no more"
But He promises that we will rise again
That's when I'll see you, my friend


(Goodbye, good friend)
Goodbye, oh, my dear friend, hey
(I′ll see you again on the other side)
I′ll see you again, oh
(Goodbye, good friend)
Oh, no
Oh, I never wanted this to end...
(Wanted you to stay, but now you've gone away)
...no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Whoo, whoo, whoo

(Goodbye, good friend)
Goodbye, my dear friend
(I know I′ll see you once again)
Goodbye
(I'll see you again on the other side)
I′ll see you again
(Goodbye, good friend)
(I never wanted this to end)
I never wanted this to end...
(Wanted you to stay, but now you've gone away)
...no, no, no, no, no...
