The streets are dark and silent
As I think of you tonight,
And I'm writing down a love song
That I hoped to never write.
At first we tried too hard,
Then we tried too hard not to try.
So I'm writing this because it is
My kiss to you goodbye.

Yes, I knew that you were troubled
And deep down I knew you'd die.
But I always thought that we would have
The chance to say goodbye.
The gifts you gave still live in me.
And the roads we took have driven me
And I wish that you'd forgiven me
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye.

You always said you wanted me
To write for you, my dear.
But I never feared that it would be
A song you'd never hear.
And in all my days I never knew
A person quite so loved as you.
And I wish that you had loved you, too.
Goodbye, my love, goodbye.

Goodbye, goodbye,
No more pain, no asking why.
Find some peace and close your eyes.
Wrap yourself in loving lullabies.

So much love midst the sorrow and the strain
And I hope that you, inside you, knew
I'd do it once again.
Warm Julys and loving eyes
All mix with feeling sad,
And soothe the song to say so long
To the best friend I ever had.
