Goodbye

Why feel the pain,
Why weep in vain,

Why wipe a tear,
For one so dear,
Why the eternal rest,
For the very best,

Why feel the pain,
Why weep in vain,

Why the fading night,
Why the blurred sight,
Why write a song,
Only to say, ‘So Long!’

Why feel the pain,
Why weep in vain,

Why the regret,
Why did I forget,
To call and say “Hi!”,
And now,
it's only a goodbye!
