Farewell Song

Farewell Song
Copyright 2019 Mike Norris Music


I wouldn’t let it get to me. I won’t lie.
I hit the bottle hard and then I cried.
I watched the embers float up to the sky.
I dried my eyes and I tried to say goodbye.

I don’t know what the use is to ask why.
I just replay all the memories in my mind.
We watched the embers float up to the sky.
We dried our eyes and tried to say goodbye.

For what it’s worth
You were an angel on this earth
And now you’re gone
And that’s what hurts.
Fly on angel, fly now up into the by and by
And I will sing your farewell song.

Among the things I’ll cherish from this world…
Summer nights around the bonfire…
We were listening to Merle.
We watched the embers float up to the sky
And we laughed until we cried,
Swore we’d never say goodbye.

For what it’s worth
You were an angel on this earth
And now you’re gone
And that’s what hurts.
Fly on angel, fly now up into the by and by
And I will sing your farewell song.
