How Do You Say Goodbye
Lyrics: Roy Harris
Music and Vocal: Danny Bloodworth

We both knew this was coming
I could see it for a mile
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw you smile
We’ve talked about our differences
We no longer try
Now if only I can figure out
How do you say goodbye

Chorus
How do you say goodbye to someone
Who means the world to you
The one who brightens up your day
The best friend you ever knew
How do you say goodbye to the one
Who’s the light of your life
I need someone to tell me
How do you say goodbye

You said I wouldn’t miss you
Well darling you’re right
Leaving you is not the thing
That will keep me up at night
But there’s a little boy in there
And I can’t stand to see him cry
The hardest thing I’ll ever do
Is tell that boy goodbye

How do you say goodbye to someone
Who means the world to you
The one who brightens up your day
The best friend you ever knew
How do you say goodbye to the one
Who’s the light of your life
I need someone to tell me
How do you say goodbye

Bridge
We've pretended we were fine
And I know it ain’t been right
But Lord it’s gonna kill me
To tell that boy goodbye

How do you say goodbye to someone
Who means the world to you
The one who brightens up your day
The best friend you ever knew
How do you say goodbye to the one
Who’s the light of your life
I need someone to tell me
How do you say goodbye
