It's time for me to say goodbye   I never thought that this day would come   Things in my life are changing so fast   Nothing will be the same   But through this change and uncertainty   I hope that you will remain.      It will be hard for a little while   And I will miss so very much   No one to call up and tell of my day   Or make me laugh when I'm blue   Though we may be many miles away, I'll be watching you.      CHORUS:   And as I lay in bed with beams of moonlight shining through   My thoughts and my prayers will be on you   Cause that same moon that is shining on me   Is also shinning on you.      Please don't cry, it's hard enough to say goodbye.   I'll be back for you, some day.   Put a smile on your face   Give me one last embrace   You're so special to me   And I can't wait to see you again.      Remember the fun and the times we've had   I hope there will be many more   Now hold still as I memorize your face so I don't forget   The way you smile, the way you laugh   And your eyes so brilliant.      I pray for you as I go to sleep    For your life and your walk with Jesus Christ   And through this all I know that we can make it through   You're special to me and I care quite a lot for you.      CHORUS      Please don't cry, it's hard enough to say goodbye.   I'll be back for you, some day.   Put a smile on your face   Give me one last embrace   You're so special to me   And I can't wait to see you again.
