Demo only (and rough one at that). Week 8 of 2023 Songwriting Group. Prompt: Bye

Let’s make it count, find laughter in every day
Let’s make it count, take joy along the way
Let’s make it count, put love in all we say
Let’s make it count before we’re all out of days

Not to be dramatic but you have to realize
Not to make you sad but we’re all gonna die
Now let’s be realistic, just look into my eyes
Time runs out soon and we’ll say our last goodbye

Let’s make it count, find laughter in every day
Let’s make it count, take joy along the way
Let’s make it count, put love in all we say
Let’s make it count before we’re all out of days

I’m gonna be emphatic now, I’m not just laying down
I promise you I’ll fight, I’m giving you that vow
But let’s be realistic, I’ve really been around
My past has shown so bright and my future’s only now

Let’s make it count, find laughter in every day
Let’s make it count, take joy along the way
Let’s make it count, put love in all we say
Let’s make it count before we’re all out of days

Not to be dramatic but you have to realize
Not to make you sad but we’re all gonna die
Now let’s be realistic, just look into my eyes
Time runs out soon and we’ll say our last goodbye

You are such a friend still
Your kindness is a prize
Let’s make the most of every day
Until our last goodbye
