The time for us to say goodbye is near The day I hoped would never come is here Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I thought my life was over when we met So little to remember, so much to forget Though it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I'm a modest man And it hurts me to say these things to you After all we've been through it's the least that I can do So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long And as for the light by which you see me leave it on I'm a better man than I was before Knowing you has made me strong And I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone Yes I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
