For many years you've been my life, I've been thankful for our time From rainy days to snow filled nights, you've always been there for me And now's the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory For lives I've touched, and those returned, this was only a moment in time I need you to know before I'm gone, It's always been for you And now's the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory I will miss our days of glory, along with the hardship and loss It's all been a friend to me, in the end, this reflection I'll embrace And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory
