Lyrics:
Goodbye, darlin', it's good to see you
Time has been kind
You're still the man that I once knew so well
Is life treatin' you gently, honey?
Did you find some peace?
Knowin' you did brings comfort I can't tell

Me? Well, darlin', truth ain't easy
I've had sleepless nights
Wondered if you'd ever cross my way again
But scars heal slowly, hearts take longer
I cried those tears
And found myself after losin' a best friend

Wait now, darlin', I see you're reachin'
For a kiss goodbye
But some roads we shouldn't travel down again
Let me hold your hand, just softly
For old time's sake
It's better that we leave it there, my friend

Go now, darlin', blessings with you
May each step you take
Lead you closer to the peace you've been lookin' for
Our love was gentle, sometimes troubled
But it made me strong
And taught me things I didn't know before

Goodbye, darlin', I'm truly grateful
We had our chance
And memories I'll cherish every day
If ever your heart doubts my forgiveness
Rest assured, my dear
You were forgiven long before today

But some roads we shouldn't travel down again
Let me hold your hand, just softly
For old time's sake
It's better that we leave it there, my friend
