The way you say good-bye
I feel like a photograph
I'm taken by your mind
Snapshots of memories
Expose me, oh, so kind

The way you say good-bye
I feel you embracing me
Your harbor ripples warm
When the tide recedes to be
A shelter from the storm

The way you say good-bye
A bridge from you to me
Your love was on the line
Promises of sincerity
We held each other tight

The way you say good-bye
You teach me the reasons why
My love never says good-bye

The way you say good-bye
