Was it a cold November in '79
The day you left the future and your troubles behind
You flew right by us without a warning
Didn't we just see you this morning
With your sleepy eyed smile
you said goodbye, goodbye
You said goodbye
Just hours ago today everything was okay
Till I started thinking though
The things I never knew about you
I never knew you
Since you've been gone there have been some changes, Everyone has more than doubled ages
Moving on as life sets in
But there's pieces of you all across the pages
of five plus two more lives you gave us
Wondering if we're gaining any ground
Or just walking around
I want to do much more than stand my ground
Somewhere on another shore
Where death won't hold us anymore, we'll stand, Held together in the light that shines on everything
We'll see we never had to say goodbye
