Final Goodbye

Sitting alone at the edges of the crowd
A story in his eyes, silent but loud
He spoke of a past love, their lives danced but never entwined

Life turned pages, they found others
Built their worlds with different lovers
If they knew what the future had to hold
If they knew, if only they knew

He'll always remember the one that got away
In our fleeting moment he found a way
To speak the words he never got to say

Hidden Angel in the night to free his soul
To mend the past, to make him whole
On that night I saw his soul fly I was the last verse, his final goodbye

When we met it was a twist of fate
In my smile he saw her face
For that night I was his confidante
A stranger to comfort, a ghost to haunt

In our embrace he found reprieve
A moment to mourn, a moment to grieve
During that time she felt so near
In my eyes, in my smile, his love appeared

An echo of her grace, a fleeting shadow, a familiar face
An unfortunate fate, She's the one that got away

He'll always remember the one that got away
In our fleeting moment, he found a way
To speak the words he never got to say
Hidden Angel in the night to free his soul
To mend the past, to make him whole, oh

He told of one rainy night, his world went quiet
Sadness boxed up, he could no longer fight it
His love's laughter ceased, on that stormy bend
Too soon, too fast, an untimely end

Whole world shattered, unspoken words scattered, a silent scream
She was his one and only, his lost dream

But as dawn broke we knew it was time
With a final smile and a wave goodbye
He found closure under the morning sky
I was the messenger, a bearer of light

He'll always remember the one that got away
In our fleeting moment, he found a way
To speak the words he never got to say
On that night I saw his soul fly
I was the last verse, his final goodbye

His final goodbye
