Fare Well

You stood your ground as I drove away

Your reflection confident, as if to say

"We'll meet again; somewhere, someday"

There's nothing I can do, nothing to say

You have no idea, no earthly clue

This is the last time that I'll see you

Innocent, bright eyes that shine,

Unafraid as they look into mine

Uncomplicated, secure, serene and kind

Another like you; I'll never find

You have no idea, no earthly clue

This is the last time that I'll see you

The thought of this tears at my soul

The reality of this was not my goal

Where we'll find ourselves, we'll never know

On separate paths, we continue to grow

You have no idea, no earthly clue

This is the last time that I'll see you

Fate has taken a twisted turn

Destiny my captain, I've come to learn

Directing each step, each deep concern

That sears my soul, my heart to burn

You have no idea, no earthly clue

This is the last time that I'll see you

.

I see your peace, your unwavering trust

I cannot hold your gaze, turn away I must

For the truth that awaits you...dust to dust

Will forever remain; is forever unjust

You have no idea, no earthly clue

This is the last time that I will see you.

Stolen from my hands, dealt without care

I must take my leave; I must leave you there

Awaiting the next time we meet; and I swear

I do not leave you without a care

I'm sorry.......

You have no idea, no earthly clue

That this is the last time that I will see you.
