Goodbye My Friend

written by Karla Bonoff
recorded by Linda Rondstadt
on the album "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind"

Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel.
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel.

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now...
Goodbye my friend.

I see a lot of things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
I could've run away and left
Well, maybe...
But it wasn't time, we both knew

So goodbye, my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now...
Goodbye my friend

Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why
