I got a phone call from your wife yesterday
She called to tell me you were finally o.k.
I swallowed hard and then I looked around
I realized it was a friend that I had found.
I looked around and pulled our High School yearbook out
I found a picture I?d forgotten all about
It was of you when you were young and bright and proud
I set that book down
And then I cried out loud.
And I know you had to go
But I will never be the same
Goodbye Sweet Pain
Bye Sweet Pain
Of days to come and days to pass
I didn?t realize this time would be the last
You took a pony ride but what the cost?
That horse turned around and he bucked you off
And I know you had to go
But I will never be the same
Goodbye Sweet Pain
Bye Sweet Pain
I don?t want you to go away!
Why do you talk them so badly
We make them live their lives so sadly
Their your sons and their all of your daughters
So don?t you know there?s always gonna be troubled waters?
And I know you had to go
But I will never be the same
Goodbye Sweet Pain
Don?t you ever go away
Not fade, not fade, not fade away
I remember finding out about you
Bye Sweet Pain
I don?t need a whole lot of money????..
