Melodies and memories

You have to say goodbye

Why do days fly swiftly by?

Only a moment that you're lost in time

Then suddenly arrives that day, when you have to say goodbye

Only a moment when everything seems fine

If it feels like life is perfect, you tend to take that joy for granted

Only a moment till the moment's gone

Then suddenly there comes that dawn, when forever becomes time to move on

Only a moment till you learn to get along

Hey, will you think of me tomorrow when you are miles away

Only a moment till your dreams have died

When your heart has lost what made you feel alive

Only a moment when you're whole inside

Why does it hurt so much to say a word so small?

Why does it hurt much more if you don't say it at all?

Why do beginnings always reach an end?

Why did we say forever we'd be friends?

Yes the times come and go, fast but always wanting slow

Always wishing for the past, for the moments that we had

Always wishing that the moment would just this one time last

Cause as the days fly

By and by, you're lost in time

Till suddenly, inevitably, tearfully

- You have to say goodbye -
