you held my hand and then you slipped away
and i may never see your face again
so tell me how do to fill the emptiness inside
without love, what is life?
and anyone who knew us both can see
we always were the better part of me
i never wanted to be this free
all this pain, does it go away?
then every time i turn around
and you're nowhere to be found
i know i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to you
oh, i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to all i ever knew
to you, to you
from memory, there is no hiding place
turn on the tv and i see you there
in every crowd there's always someone with your face
everywhere, trying not to care
then every time i turn around
and you're nowhere to be found
i know i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to you
oh, i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to all i ever knew
to you, i wish you everythin'
and all the best that life can bring
i only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
and even though i feel the pain
i know that i will love again
the time will come, oh, and i'll move on
i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to you
oh, i got a long, long way to go, got a long way to go
before i can say goodbye, before i say goodbye
to all i ever knew, to all i ever knew
i got a long, i got a long, long way to go, long way to go
before i can say, before i say, goodbye to you
say goodbye, say goodbye
oh, i got a long, long way to go
before i can say goodbye to all i ever knew
