Goodbye my darling
My love all along
I’m leaving before you
For the hand of fate is strong
Through all of my winters
You were where I’d belong
May all be forgiven again
Now I’m singing a summer song
I’m slipping through tides
Of time’s ancient seas
Can’t fight the current
Can’t change what will be
Though I am afraid
It won’t be for long
And I will go with joy in my heart
Singing a summer song
Life everlasting
A world without end
These things I used to believe
But I’ll stand and be counted
For as much as I am
Treasure this moment
With music and you
Then be on my way
Singing a summer song
