Down by the lake a warm afternoon
breezes carry children's balloons
Once upon a time, not long ago,
she lived in a house by the grove.
And she recalls the day,when she left home.
"Long good-byes,make me so sad. I have to leave right now.
And though I hate to go, I know it's for the better.
Long good-byes, make me so sad. Forgive my leaving now
You know I'll miss you so and days we spent together."
Long in the day moon on the rise
She sighs with a smile in her eyes
In the park, it's late after all,
she sits and stares at the wall
And she recalls the day, when she left home..
"Long good-byes, make me so sad. I have to leave right now.
And though I hate to go, I know it's for the better.
Long good-byes, make me so sad. Forgive my leaving now
You know I'll miss you so and days we spent together."
