Long Goodbyes

Down by the lake A warm afternoon - Breezes carry children's balloons Once upon a time Not long ago She lived in a house by the grove And she recalls the day When she left home... Long good-byes Make me so sad I have to leave right now And though I hate to go I know it's for the better Long good-byes Make me so sad Forgive my leaving now You know I'll miss you so And days we spent together Long in the day Moon on the rise - She sighs with a smile in her eyes In the park It's late afterall She sits and stares at the wall And she recalls the day When she left home... (repeat chorus)
