Goodbye Old Friend--Lyrics

by Richard Mekdeci

Dedicated to the memory of Reverend Sandra Huguenot September 11, 2001

CHORUS Goodbye old friend. we've come a long, long way. You were there when I needed you. You'll always be a part of who I am, Now I release you, so goodbye old friend.

VERSE Faith and courage will see me through the times when I'll be missing you. But on the other side of fear is a bigger brighter world

CHORUS So goodbye old friend. It's time to move beyond This life I've known, with you right here. I lift you up, and I lay you down. And I release you, so goodbye old friend.

VERSE I'll wrap you in fond memories, and save them for the rainy days. And know that even in darkest times I'll never be alone. So goodbye old friend.

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS I give you up, and I lay you down. Now I release you, so goodbye old friend. Now I release you, goodbye old friend.
