Goodbye my friend

Oh we never know where life will take us
i know it's just a ride on the wheel.
and we never know when death will shake us
and we wonder how it will feel.
So goodbye my friend
i know i'll never see you again
but the time together through all the years
will take away these tears.
It's ok now...
goodbye my friend
I see a lot of things that make me crazy
and i guess i held on to you
i could of run away and left
well, maybe...
but it wasn't time we both knew
So goodbye my friend
i know i'll never see you again
but the love you gave me through all the years
will take away these tears
It's now...
goodbye my friend
Life's so fragile and love's so pure
we can't hold on but we try
we watch how quickly it disappears
and we never know why
But i'm ok now
goodbye my friend.
i can go now
goodbye my friend.
