Now and forever Holding on to memories Of past and present And of you and me The picture is fading Into black Nothing to sustain it Nothing to hold you back from leaving Goodbye, you're gone Counting the days Till October nights when You will be back home Remembering the ways You used to say, "You make me so happy" Sweet summer days of old Late night drives all alone Turn to autumn dark and cold And times when we're on our own Goodbye, you're gone So I'll take my chances And see where this goes I feel that there's something That no one else knows And I dont know if you feel The same way I do I pray to God hoping That your heart is true I write you these letters And sing you these songs But I know when I'm with you Things can never go wrong But you'll find the right guy With things that i lack You can forget about me Dont let me hold you back Suffering through endless nights You're keeping me from sleep This distance between us is not right You mean so much to me Goodbye, you're gone Counting the days Till October nights when You will be back home Remembering the ways You used to say, "You make me so happy"
