Your face still shines whenever I pass by;
an image etched in time across the years.
I can’t believe I had to say good bye.

Refusing to give in and never cry,
I lose myself, forgetting ancient fears.
Your face still shines whenever I pass by.

Perhaps I have some dust lodged in my eye -
that’s it! These watery eyes aren’t caused by tears!
I can’t believe I had to say good bye.

I’ve wasted half my life while asking ‘Why?’.
The time has come to ditch those souvenirs.
Your face still shines whenever I pass by.

The basic rules of life just don’t apply
to matters of the heart. I close my ears
and can’t believe I had to say good bye.

My carefully laid plans have gone awry
as, on the looking glass of life, are smears.
Your face still shines whenever I pass by.
I can’t believe I had to say good bye.
