Farewell (Goodnight) (Part 2)

When I grew up there was

Not a single thing

That would make me feel whole

Then you arrived

Seven pounds of beautiful

And I knew that there was love in this world

But now I break and I cave. I crumble inside

But I won’t let it show in my voice

Because what kind of life would this be

If you’re not here with me?

How could I ever live without you?

So goodnight but not goodbye

Close your eyes and learn to fly

You can if you try

Be the bravest astronaut the world has ever seen

Now take off

Into a dream

I always thought I would

Walk you down the aisle

I see my life there inside your eyes

And I’d always be there to catch you when you fall

I can’t bear that I have to let go

And so I break and I cave. I crumble inside

But I won’t left it show in my face

Because the tomorrow I see

Without you here with me

Is a future where I don’t want to be

So goodnight this is not goodbye

Close your eyes and learn to fly
