The time for us to say goodbye is near
The day I hoped would never come is here
Though many hearts are broken
We must somehow carry on
'Cause I think I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I thought my life was over when we met
So little to remember, so much to forget
Though it was you who saw me through
The darkness to the dawn
I think I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm a modest man, it hurts me
To say these things to you
After all we've been through,
It's the least that I can do
So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long
As for the light by which you see me, leave it on
I'm a better man than I was before
Knowing you has made me strong
And I sure am gonna miss you when you're gone
Yes, I sure am gonna miss you when you're gone
