Sad To Say Goodbye

Sad To Say Goodbye Lyrics

She was a young girl with a fair heart
He could tell it was Heaven by the way she moved
He ain't nothing but a spare part
The boy ain't broken, but all's been bruised

And ain't it funny when you're young, you live forever
Forever ain't never enough time
Ain't it just like that old, lonely feeling
The train disappears down the line

Time after time, I ask myself why
That it's always sad to say goodbye

I know a man who lives in Texas
He makes his living working on cars
He was young and he was restless
He did his fishing in out of town bars

On the weekend, he's the one they look at
All the women know him by name
But it don't matter when the moon meets the morning
The feelin' is always the same

Time after time, I ask myself
Why that it's always sad to say goodbye

Somewhere a mother is drinking
And somewhere a father has lost his good son
Somewhere a sister is thinking
Thinking about what her brother has done

And nobody's perfect, but they both blame each other
And neither can hold back the tears
Ain't it a shame to see your boy dressed in numbers
In numbers for 99 years?

Time after time, I asked myself
Why that it's always sad to say goodbye
