Lyrics
So I leave
And in my leaving leave behind all the pain and
Joy in my heart did find
Living this life with all of you, but things must
Change, as all things do.
And though it pains me deeply to have to go, I
Take solace in knowing what I know
You?ll always be with me my friends, through all
The beginnings and all the ends.
The life that shines in each of you will stay with me
My whole life through
And your hair will never gray, you laughter will
Always sound this way.
Farewell, my friends, remember this time
When time was nothing, or so it seemed.
And throughout my life, when this heart is low
Your faces will shine with a deep fulfilling glow.
And the light of your eyes will always stay just as
Bright as it is this very day.
And it is my hope, to some degree, you take with
You each a piece of me.
So that you and I may play these parts, till the last
Of the beats in the last of our hearts.
Farewell, my friends, remember this time
When time was nothing, or so it seemed.
And throughout my life, when this heart is low
Your faces will shine with a deep fulfilling glow.
May all of your dreams some day come true, may
You truly appreciate them as they do
And when all else is said and done, if nothing
Else, may your lives be fun. I will miss you all.
