lyrics

How Do You Say Goodbye?

She was holding his hand on the night he died
At his side as she'd been for 60 years as his wife
And she kissed his eyes and rained her tears down on his face
As she held him tight in a last embrace

How do you say goodbye to the one you gave your life?

He was light as a bird moving slower by the day
It was as if he'd sent what he needed up ahead
When the news came through that his grandson had been born
With ten fingers and ten toes he was ready to go

How do you say goodbye to the one you gave your life?

He took the bride he married, before the war broke out
She put up anti-Nazi posters in Berlin
He took the girl who would never
return to her home
once she'd heard about the bombing

She stayed strong for him
She carried on for him
She kissed his eyes and
rained her tears down on his face

How do you say goodbye,
when what you want
with all your heart
is to follow?
