my first goodbye to manchester

oh sun! don't shine for tomorrow
with each ray I shall await the pending sorrow!
My first goodbye to this life
to be strong is all i strive

Cant show how the memories dance
teasing and taunting leaving me in a trance
nostalgia engulfs, the days gone by....
I just cant make myself face its time to say goodbye

The jokes, the smiles, the moments shared
all gone too soon ....
from the present to reminisces we have reached already
My eyes are wet, my heart feels unsteady

forgot that this is the way of life today
whats present is all we have to make us stay
the past is gone, saved in our hearts and mind
for when in need, from them strength we will find

Letting go of yesterday
Getting ready to embrace today
Learning lessons for tomorrow
makes you think that moments shared are stories we had borrowed

So farewell to you my dear friend
I hope to see you again in one of lifes bends
Keep me in your heart even if i get lost on the way
For I know from you mind I may go astray

And i'll keep you in my heart for today and forever
Forgetting you or this life, never, never
A last embrace is all i have to give
For another chapter is opening for us to live....
