HOW CAN I SAY GOOD-BYE?

by Ann Mortifee

How can I say good-bye
When birds still sing in the trees
And the breeze still blows
So soft and low in the early spring

How can I say good-bye
When stars still dance in the sky
And the air is alive
With sounds of music
Playing from every stream

How can I say good bye
To the dawning and sunset of days
When the ways of the world
Are still too sweet
To fade like autumn leaves

How can I say good-bye
When my heart is yet unfulfilled
When I still haven't lit a candle
And placed it high on a hill

How can I say good-bye
When my eyes are just learning to see
And my heart hasn't laughed or cried enough
To find its true melody

How can I say good-bye
I 've let love go unrequited
All the love that I lost
When I counted the cost
Unwilling to simply invite it

How can I say good-bye
To the eyes that so often held mine
To the dreams of tomorrow we were to share
Before I was a prisoner of time

How can I say good-bye
I just can t say good-bye
I just can t say it
I just can t say it
I just can t say good bye
