Good-Bye Good Friend by Howard Hewett Lyrics

Where do I go from here
This is the strangest feeling I ever felt
I've gotten so used to you being here
Can't get used to this emptiness
Because we've traveled so many roads together
We've been through ups and downs
Oh, it's hard to realize
That the time has come to say...

Good-bye, good friend
Good-bye, my good friend, oh...
I'll see you again on the other side
I'll see you again, oh...
Good-bye, good friеnd
My dear, dear friend
It's through lovе and faith
We'll share the victory
Very soon we'll share eternity
Yeah

I know I'm thinking selfishly
'Cause where you're gone's a better place
But this feeling's that's come over me
The pain's so deep I can't explain
It feels like something inside me
Is tearing away
Oh, it hurts, oh, the pain
I know I've got to come to grips within
In my mind I've got to say...
Good-bye, good friend
Good-bye, good-bye, my good friend, oh...
I'll see you again on the other side
I'll see you again, hey
Good-bye, good friend
Oh, my dear, dear friend, oh...
I wanted you to stay
(I wanted you to stay)
But now you're gone away

Oh, some people say it's the end of the road
They say that's it, there ain't no more
But He promises that we will rise again
That's when I'll see you, my friend

Good-bye, good friend
Good-bye, oh, my dear friend, hey
I'll see you again on the other side
I'll see you again, oh...
Good-bye, good friend
Oh, now
Oh, I never wanted this to end
I wanted you to stay
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
But now you're gone away
(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)
Good-bye, good friend
Good-bye dear friend
(Good-bye, my dear friend)
I know I'll see you again, oh...
(Goodbye)
I'll see you again on the other side
I'll see you again, ooh...
Good-bye, good friend
Good-bye, dear friend
(Oh...)
I never wanted this to end, oh...
I never wanted this to end
I wanted you to stay
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
But now you're gone away
(Hey...)
