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
