Story Behind the Song
Dedicated to the memory of Greg Parker:
You are my Brother -
You are my Friend.
Lyrics
Goodbye
by Ben Scales
Please, wake me up
Before you leave in the morning.
Man, it's been fun,
And I guess our time is done,
But I still need to say goodbye.
'Cause you know, my brother,
It's just not right.
It's not like you
To be impolite.
You know the rule 'round here,
The reason why.
I know you'd never leave
Without saying goodbye.
Jokes. More than a few.
Hell, nobody thinks I'm funny,
'Cept for me and you.
Who will I laugh with now?
Who'll understand?
If I have to start all over,
I'm not sure I can.
'Cause I called you, Brother.
I called you, Friend.
I was sure we'd get together
Every now and then.
But you broke the rule 'round here
With no reason why.
You up and left
Without saying goodbye.
It takes so long
To make a good friend,
It makes it hard
To make a lot of them.
I still can't believe
You chose to leave this way,
But I will rise in the morning,
Take a deep breath and say:
Goodbye, my Brother.
Goodbye, my Friend.
I'm sure we'll see each other
Somewhere again.
'Cause you know the rule 'round here,
The reason why.
You can't leave here
Without saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
