Though in my heart I hoped that this time would never come
In my head I always knew it would
There’d come a time you’d know
That you would have to go
Somewhere else to do the greater good
Now I have made plans for this celebration
I don’t know if I’ll make it but I’ll try
I promised myself I would not cry
When it was time to say goodbye
As I look back on all the things that we have done
And all of the changes we’ve been through
Our families careers
Evolving through the years
So much of my life I’ve shared with you
And now the closest friend I have is leaving
And for the life of me I don’t know why
I promised myself I would not cry
When it was time to say goodbye
It’s said that when you leave a place
It should be better
In your case it’s a given that it’s true
But even further so
I just want you to know
That I’m a better man for knowing you
And now I feel emotions pouring all through me
Like I’m suffering a tragic loss
I know it’s not the end
You’ll always be my friend
I thank God for letting our paths cross
And I know the plans I had for this evening
Are going to wither on the vine and die
Because I know I am going to cry
When it is time to say goodbye
I’ll have to wipe a tear from my eye
When it is time to say goodbye
