And Now We Say Goodbye

And now we say goodbye
To those we grew up with
The friends and enemies
That are childhood memoirs

And now we say goodbye
To the laughs and the cries
The happy and the sad
The memories of friends

And now we say goodbye
To the dances and the games
The concerts and musicals
The social events galore

And now we say goodbye
To trips and assemblies
The grumbling and complaining
The secret excitements

And now we say goodbye
To the heartbreaks and the ill loving
The past bad experiences
The parts we try to forget

And now we say goodbye
To friends and family
Though it's not really goodbye
It hurts just as much
