You held my hand and then you slipped away And I may never see your face again So tell me how do to fill the emptiness inside Without love, what is life? And anyone who knew us both can see We always were the better part of me I never wanted to be this free All this pain, does it go away? Then every time I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you Oh, I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew To you, to you From memory, there is no hiding place Turn on the tv and I see you there In every crowd there's always someone with your face Everywhere, trying not to care Then every time I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you Oh, I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew To you, I wish you everythin' And all the best that life can bring I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh And even though I feel the pain I know that I will love again The time will come, oh, and I'll move on I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you Oh, I got a long, long way to go, got a long way to go Before I can say goodbye, before I say goodbye To all I ever knew, to all I ever knew I got a long, I got a long, long way to go, long way to go Before I can say, before I say, goodbye to you Say goodbye, say goodbye Oh, I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew Girl, I wish you the best I know, oh and all of the rest, to you I got a long, long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you
