Images of Blue

        Things are different now
      The old routines are gone
                               Good-bye

   Change must show me how
   To rise and face each dawn
                               Good-bye

The days that saw us through
        Have all come to an end
                               Good-bye

            With memories of you
             New journeys I begin
                               Good-bye

Good-bye
              to all we knew
              images of blue
Good-bye
              to me and you
Good-bye

             New stories everyday
     New lessons to be learned
                               Good-bye

          New joys along the way
         New hearts at every turn
                                Good-bye

    With waves of endless time
                lapping at the shore
                               Good-bye

           I leave the past behind
   and learn to love once more
                                Good-bye

Good-bye
              to all we knew
              images of blue
Good-bye
              to me and you
Good-bye
