A Tearful Goodbye ©1999 Genea Parker

What was it that brought you to mind that day
What was it that brought a smile my way
What was it that brought a flood to my heart
Drowning old memories that threatened to start.
A kiss, a sigh, and a tearful goodbye.

Where was I heading and thinking just then
Where did my mind turn again and again
Where would be comfort that I could find
When somewhere in the corners of my mind
Was...a kiss, a sigh, and a tearful goodbye.

Is it the rain or the overcast sky?
Perhaps it's nothing and everything
About that different time.
Is the song that plays in my head
Or the scent that won't leave me
Following me even to bed.
A kiss, a sigh and
A tearful goodbye.

Maybe I'm crazy to still feel this way
After all this time and so few days.
And stillI I wonder if miles from here
Another soul remembers perfectly clear
A kiss, a sigh, and a tearful goodbye.
