Goodbye, Forever? Lyrics

If this is goodbye forever

Then at least let me recount

The first time that I saw you

Your cheeks red from the cold

I swear I could not help but stare

I could not comprehend

The beauty glancing back at me

Over thoughts of philosophy

Hiding behind your hair

You were hiding behind your bags

And I dreamed of a future there

A wonderful reverie

I never will forget your face

On that first winter day

Or our first conversation

Or the first time we embraced

Though it's been many months now

Since you and I have spoke

And even longer than that

Since you graced me with a look

Hiding behind your hair

You were hiding behind your bags

And I dreamed of a future there

A wonderful reverie

That transcendent fantasy

I still indulge to this day

Though now it's so far away

A lifetime of you and me

And now I know that it's true:

You don't know what you had

Til the best part is through

I'll cherish those thoughts of you

And someday I may make some new

Hiding behind your hair

You were hiding behind your bags

And I dreamed of a future there

A wonderful reverie

That transcendent fantasy

I still indulge to this day

Though now it's so far away

A lifetime of you and me

This must be goodbye forever

For if we should meet again

You won't be the same woman

I'm surely not the same man

So i hope you are happy there

Wherever you may be

I still dream of that future where

We are lost in that reverie
