Goodbye

Life never takes a holiday. On Christmas Day, a neighbor of mine in the block I live in passed away at a son’s place. He was a nice, pleasant man. One of my artistic vocations is as a singer/songwriter. A new song quickly imposed itself on my brain; not a sad song per se, but, a song that is bittersweet and hopeful. Following are the lyrics for this song. I have not included the title purposefully…this blog is about the power of words and not for any self-promotion of any kind. Integrity is key to this blog. This is what is important to me. That’s why there are no links etc. Please note though, that these words are copyrighted through SOCAN. I hope you find meaning and hope in the words I am about to present.

Goodbye good neighbour

Sorry you had to go

You were a nice man

Always happens here though

Goodbye good neighbour

Known so many here

Goodbye good neighbour

Let’s not dwell in fear

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye

Life’s bittersweet

Any time of year

So unrelenting

Do your best while you’re here

Goodbye good neighbour

Known so many here

Goodbye good neighbour

Let’s not dwell in fear

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye

Life is a mystery

Lost in the sands of history

Goodbye good neighbour

Known so many here

Goodbye good neighbour

Let’s not dwell in fear

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye

Goodbye good neighbour, goodbye
