Old & Ok
Long Time Local Legends From different bands and backgrounds got together over the years to play a few hours on tuesday nights. I made them learn these songs I wrote!!!!!!!!!!!!;-
R.T.MOORE
Story behind the song
I actually wrote this one as a ballad. My dad was in the hospital after a quintuple bypass. I didn't know if I'd ever see him alive again. My only thought was...(is goodbye forever?)
Well when we were in studio, ready to record, the drummer & I were going over the song before the bass player arrived. She was having trouble with the slow tempo. We went over it a few times with trouble, finally she started the song at this tempo & I fooled around with it. Just then the bass player walked in and said "Good I need to rock out for a while... I like it! Well we ended up recording the song in both tempos. It was actually quite fun doing it both ways!
Lyrics
GOODBYE IS FOREVER
WORDS AND MUSIC BY R.T.MOORE
‘Twas a long time ago or so it seems
Now I only have you in my dreams
If I’d only seen if I’d only known
As each moment passes by it’s harder to believe
That only moments ago you were here with me
If I’d only seen if I’d only known Goodbye is forever
I can see your smilin’ face I have held your helpin’ hand
But nothin’ on GOD’S green earth can help me to understand
Why I’m alone I’m so, so alone
It didn’t use to be that way I remember hearin’ you say
Now what am I what am I to do can’t spend the rest of my life without you
I’m alone Oh so alone Yes goodbye is forever
Now I can only say I believe
I’m tellin’ you now oh dear Lord I believe
I know it’s true hey now, hey now
How can I go on without you
Don’t say goodbye
