Story Behind The Song

This song started out with the title "There's Nothing Good About Goodbye". I then learned there were a couple songs with that title and concept, so my music partner David Leonard suggested the idea "After Goodbye". We kept my music, but rewrote the lyrics with the new concept in mind.

Song Description

A song about a guy whose lady is about to leave him, so he is calmly thinking about what he is going to do after she is gone

Lyrics

After Goodbye
Verse
You say it's time for you to go,
Because you need some room to grow
Well I hope you think twice before you leave
Cause you're my everything and I do believe
There's nobody in the whole wide world
That loves you more than I do girl,
But if I lose you now I'm not gonna cry
Cause I'll be looking for the good after goodbye

Chorus
I'm sure you know
This is not my first rodeo
I've been down this road before
If it's really so and I've got to let you go
I'm gonna do what I should and Start looking for the good
After goodbye... after goodbye

Verse
There's nobody that I love more
You shook me down to the core
And I won't tell you a lie
Being with you puts me on a high
But you give me signs that I can't read
Make promises I can't believe
I can't make you stay but I've gotta survive
So I'll be looking for the good after goodbye

Chorus
I'm sure you know
This is not my first rodeo
I've been down this road before
If it's really so and I've got to let you go
I'm gonna do what I should and Start looking for the good
After goodbye... after goodbye

Bridge
I don't believe in destiny
The way it is now is not the way it has to be
I'm not gonna close my eyes and pretend that I don't see

Instrumental break

Chorus
I'm sure you know
This is not my first rodeo
I've been down this road before
If it's really so and I've got to let you go
I'm gonna do what I should and Start looking for the good
After goodbye... after goodbye
