JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL

When I first wake up at sunrise,
with the light just coming in,
I recall the times we laughed,
the times you wiped away my sin.
Now the road has reached a turning,
one we can't walk side by side,
But my heart holds tight the
memory of the love we can't deny.

CHORUS:
JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL,
Send her off with your love
like a ringing bell.
Oh, those dreams of each other
that we dared to tell,
JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL.

As the stars begin their watch,
the night takes over from the day,
I'm thinking are there any words,
any way to make you stay.
But growth comes from the hardest times,
from the hardest truths we tell,
So with a smile beneath my tears,
my love, I wish you well.

CHORUS:
JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL,
Send her off with your love
like a ringing bell.
Oh, those dreams of each other
that we dared to tell,
JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL.

GUITAR SOLO

No bitter words will find their way,
for what we had was true,
It’s just the time has come
for us to part and start anew.
So pack up all the laughter,
and the tears we shared as well,
The story of our love,
my friend, is a tale I’ll always tell.

CHORUS:
JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL,
Send her off with your love
like a ringing bell.
Oh, those dreams of each other
that we dared to tell,
JUST SAY GOODBYE AND WISH HER WELL.

Gee, Jerry! How many women have you sent off with a broken heart? I'm beginning to think that you're a hard fellow to live with. Of course, every heartbreak becomes a song, so that's a plus. Keep singing; keep breaking hearts.

Cool chord progression and melody. It really helps deliver that bittersweet vibe from having fond memories blended in with the heartbreak. Lovely singing as always, Jerry. Really nice work here.

Yup seems right to me! Your chorus is as usual so strong and sits against the verses so well. Jerry breaks another heart
