Goodbye My Love
I just wanted to say I Love You before I say goodbye.
I want to hold you in my arms and let you cry.
I know youll do it anyway when I say goodbye .
Weve shared many joys and many more heartaches than people know,
but now I must say goodbye my love,
its time for me to go. When you see the snow,
youll realize why you finally had to let me go.
For someday, youll have to say goodbye too,
and once again it will be just you and me.
When once again well set under the old shade tree,
for everyone to see. So when I say goodbye dont cry,
just look for me in the sky.
When you see a star its just the gleam in my eyes.
Youll always have my love, it will never say goodbye.
It will be in your heart, in your life, in all you do or say.
I had to say I Love You one more time before I go away.
So goodbye my love until we are once again together as one.
I LOVE YOU, Ronald E. Shipley
