Goodbye Lyrics

Artist: Lionel Richie
Album: Encore

I wanted you for life
you and me
in the wind
I never thought there come a time
that our story would end
its hard to understand
but I guess i'll have to try
its not easy
to say goodbye .....

For all the joy we shared
all that time we had to spend
now if I had one wish
I'd want forever back again
to look into your eyes
and hold you when you cry
its not easy
to say goodbye......

I can remember all those great times we had
There were so many memories, some good some bad
yes and through it all
those memories will last
forever .....

Theres peace in where you are
may be all I need to know
and if I listen to my heart
i'll hear your laughter once more
and so I got to say
i'm just glad you came my way
its not easy to say
goodbye.....

this is a cd my husband had and we would listen to "Just To Be Close To You" it's the first song we danced to and he told me I would be his wife. I lost him on 1/3/11 and as I was going through his things I found this cd and for some reason Goodbye came on while I was Thinking what to write to place in the memorial ad, it really took me by surprise because what I was feeling Lionel was singing, needless to say I became very emotional and didn't think I would stop crying, it was a mixture of sad and happy tears and as I listened to my heart, I heard his laughter once more because that is what he would do everytime I cried on a sad song or movie. I don't know whaat was going on in Mr Richie's life when he sang this but he had to be moved by it.Thanks through all the sadness I'm feeling as I approach his first anniversary in heaven because he was a good husband,father,and grandfather you made me smile. We were married 34yrs and yes some good some bad but all worth it.

This song is for my husband Rob who was taken too soon from me in this life. I was sitting on his lap with his arms around me when he passed on. But the last thing we said to each other was "I Love You, always have always will" We met at the age of 15 in the summer of 1969 and never stopped loving each other. He was the one person in my screwed up life that ever truly loved me and I him. He had a beautiful heart and soul. I miss laying my head on his chest and being lulled to sleep by his heartbeat
this song came out right after Rob passed on. He was a good man, husband ,dad and friend I Miss Him So Much.
