It's time for me to say goodbye
I never thought that this day would come
Things in my life are changing so fast
Nothing will be the same
But through this change and uncertainty
I hope that you will remain.

It will be hard for a little while
And I will miss so very much
No one to call up and tell of my day
Or make me laugh when I'm blue
Though we may be many miles away, I'll be watching you.

CHORUS:
And as I lay in bed with beams of moonlight shining through
My thoughts and my prayers will be on you
Cause that same moon that is shining on me
Is also shinning on you.

Please don't cry, it's hard enough to say goodbye.
I'll be back for you, some day.
Put a smile on your face
Give me one last embrace
You're so special to me
And I can't wait to see you again.

Remember the fun and the times we've had
I hope there will be many more
Now hold still as I memorize your face so I don't forget
The way you smile, the way you laugh
And your eyes so brilliant.

I pray for you as I go to sleep
For your life and your walk with Jesus Christ
And through this all I know that we can make it through
You're special to me and I care quite a lot for you.

CHORUS

Please don't cry, it's hard enough to say goodbye.
I'll be back for you, some day.
Put a smile on your face
Give me one last embrace
You're so special to me
And I can't wait to see you again.
