When Goodbye Was A Word

(written by Gene Nelson and Paul Nelson)



Stars would shine on stormy nights

Flowers grew in winter time

Everything seemed possible

When we were in love



When forever was what other people lost

This lonesome valley was what other people crossed

No I couldn't taste the tears other people shed

When goodbye was a word other people said



Rivers flowed, a bridge would burn

The nights would end, the earth still turned

Yesterday was just a song to sing

In the world we knew



When forever was what other people lost

This lonesome valley was what other people crossed

No I couldn't taste the tears other people shed

When goodbye was a word other people said
