Lyrics
Verse 1
Hey my dear, don't look so sad
Only remember, the good times we've had
We both knew that, someday I'd have to go
Verse 2
Why go back, when you can move on
Trust me, you'll do just fine when I'm gone
Why worry, things will be okay
Chorus
You will always have this song
To remember me
You must realize this is the way
It has to be
Instrumental part
Chorus
Verse 3
Now I see, that I am alone
We'll both be better off on our own
I'm not tied down, by the strings of this world
End (get gradually quieter)
vocals are just "good-bye" sung slowly over a couple of chords
