A Time for Goodbyes

And so it is done. With a tear
We now wish one another well
It's time to say goodbye my dear.

We were strangers who became near,
But now time has broken the spell
And so it is done, with a tear.

Someday, we might miss these years
But tonight, it is hard to tell;
It's time to say goodbye my dear.

It would be futile to linger here
Like a convict fond of her cell;
And so it is done, with a tear.

Let us go ahead without fear  
What matters if one of us fell?      
It's time to say goodbye my dear.

Better to part now in good cheer
Before our silence became hell
And so it is done, with a tear
It's time to say goodbye my dear.
