A simple twist of fate has brought us here
We're trying not to, but still we're shedding tears
But we know in our hearts you'll always be near
So if you have to, you can go
We won't forget all of the times we had
Though we might regret things we never said
At least "I love you" isn't one of them
So if you have to, you can go
You inspired us to do our best
There for your family, though we put you to the test
And so, quite frankly, you deserve the rest
So if you have to, you can go
It might take time for all the hurt to heal
And our emotions will be so hard to conceal
But this I promise you, we'll find a way to deal
So if you have to, you can go
"Goodbye" is the hardest word we'll ever say
But with you watching over us, we'll be okay
And like your smile, the sun will shine again one day
So if you have to, you can go
