A Good Goodbye

We don't always get a chance
 For that one last glance
 The world turns too fast
 Today soon turns to the past
 See now my dear how already
 Already our time has come
 We don't always know which ones
 We will miss the most
 I'm glad we confessed
 Before you slipped through my grasp
 See now my dear how already
 Already our time has come
 And what is time, and what is farewell?
 What are these tears when we loved so well?
 I'm thankful you're here to help me learn it
 I believe we've earned this
 And this is good
 This is a good goodbye
 With joy, strength and tenderness
 Kind words as parting gifts
 These things they make us, us
 Joy, strength and tenderness
 Kind words as parting gifts
 Already our time has come
 [With joy, strength and tenderness
 Kind words as parting gifts
 These things they make us, us
 Joy, strength and tenderness
 Kind words as parting gifts]
 Already our time has come
 And what is time, and what is farewell?
 What are these tears when we loved so well?
 I'm thankful you're here to help me learn it
 I believe we've earned this
 And this is good
 This is a good goodbye
 We don't always get to choose
 What we keep or lose
 All I can do is trust in all the things that make us, us
