Time to Say Goodbye

Something in the air was stinging
The day you came to meet me in Curie Park

You came to tell me the sky was so blue
That it was big and round, and it was smiling at you
You never knew a sky as blue as this could be, be so frightening
And I knew it then, you would fly
Light played upon your face like lace
It was time to kiss and say goodbye

Our hearts would break, be folded in the ache of an early autumn
Birds would alight from flight singing to light the opening skies of life
And make a sound like lovers crying

And when you kissed me, you let a single tear
Say the very thing you knew I couldn't hear
The truest love resigns itself to everything
No matter how life pulls it apart, love makes another start again

Now when I think of that broken-hearted fall
I'd give my all to have that moment to speak again
To thank you for chasing a bluer sky and to kiss again, and to say goodbye

Moments live in forever once they live
So we can give away our forever day
And it's no regret to say, "That was yesterday"
When we give away our forever day

Time to say goodbye and find what time can bring to love
It's time for me to try to see what life is really of
It's time to say goodbye
