This Is How We Say Goodbye

He was a child of the Blackhills,He was restless,He was wild And the blaze that was His life would not burn long. Until He found His perfect other,Who made Him sing inside He remembered all the words to sacred songs The road was hard,He wore its scars He laughed with pride,and Lord He stood so tall He said family is what matters most of all. I hear Your voice,I see Your smile I'm gonna bring Your spirit to Me for awhile And so it goes,the years they fly... this is how we say... goodbye She was a child of Little Italy,a princess shining bright She would sing and dance,by one and all She was adored At sixteen She met the man she would love for all Her life And wait for Him to come back from the war Children came,love remained Through all the joys and storms that fate could call She said family is what matters most of all I hear Your voice,I see Your smile I'm gonna bring Your spirit to Me for awhile And so it goes,the years they fly... this is how we say... goodbye But every life goes on,inside those that remain And every Dream goes home to rest There's no need to hide from sorrow or from pain They help Me to remember you lived So they met on one unlikely day.The Princess and the Brave The time it took to share some coffee,one so small.. If they knew each others wisdom songs from a million miles away they'd say that family is what matters most of all I hear Your voice,I see Your smile I'm gonna bring Your spirit to Me for awhile And so it goes,the years they fly... this is how we say... goodbye this is how we say... goodbye
