How Do You Say Goodbye
For Grandpa Jack, September 3, 1998
Mark David Williams

I once was told silence is golden
And words only get in the way
Now is the time my silence is broken
There is no day like today

In moments like these there's not much to say
The Father gives life and He takes it away
I'm longing to tell you what I feel in my heart
But I just don't know where to start

CHORUS: How do you say goodbye
How do you speak words that cannot be spoken
How do you say thank you for life and all that you've given to me
There's one thing that I'll never know
How do you say goodbye

I once believed that you'd live forever
That was the faith of a child
Now I believe that we'll be together
One day in heavenly light

In moments like these there's not much to say
The Father gives life and He takes it away
I know it's not over when it's all said and done
The journey has only begun - CHORUS
