How To Tell You Goodbye

(Stacey Dee)

Stacey Dee and Beth Dahl

One of my dearest friends, Beth, lives with a debilitating disease.  

She used to play guitar, sing and write.

My last visit with her she told me she'd been writing again and read my the lyrics of the first verse of this song.

I pulled out my guitar and together we finished the song.

We will all say goodbye someday.  Some sooner than others.

Thank God for friends along the way.

Can I tell you that I love you

Can I tell you that I care

And can I tell you when I needed you, you were always there, mmm

Can I tell you that I laughed, can I tell you that I cried

And can I tell you that I don't know how to tell you goodbye

 

Can I tell you life's been hard

Well if I'm honest it's been hell

And can I tell you that it's hard to remember ever feeling well, mmmm

You've been more than just a friend, you're the reason I'm alive

So can I tell you that I don't know how to tell you goodbye

 

It's not that I wanna go

It's just that I'm so, I'm so, I'm so tired

It's not that I wanna leave you

I just don't know, don't know how much longer I can survive

 

mmmm,  oooo,   ohhhh,   mmmm

You are more than just a friend, you're the reason I'm alive

So can I tell you that I don't know how to tell you goodbye

How to tell you goodbye

How to tell you goodbye

How to tell you.....goodbye
