Goodbye My Friend — Linda Ronstadt

written by Karla Bonoff 1988 Seagrape Music (BMI)

Oh we never know where life will take us I know it's just a ride on the wheel And we never know when death will shake us And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the time together through all the years Will take away these tears It's okay now Goodbye my friend

I've seen a lot things that make me crazy And I guess I held on to you We could've run away and left well maybe But it wasn't time and we both knew

So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the love you gave me through all the years Will take away these tears I'm okay now Goodbye my friend

Life's so fragile and love's so pure We can't hold on but we try We watch how quickly it disappears And we never know why

But I'm okay now Goodbye my friend You can go now Goodbye my friend
