💔 Goodbye, Line

A final farewell to the love of my life — the dream that lived for 30 years has finally come to rest.

Artist note:
This is not a song of regret — it’s one of gratitude.
What began in youth has found its peace in time.
Some stories aren’t meant to end with “forever,”
but with thank you and goodbye.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Goodbye, my love — goodbye that smile,
The way your eyes could light a mile.
Goodbye the spark in what you said,
When passion’s fire turned skies to red.

Verse 2
Goodbye the love that could never bend,
The kind that time will never end.
Goodbye those nights in Cancún’s glow,
Where ocean winds still softly know.

Chorus 1
Goodbye to the dream, goodbye to the pain,
Goodbye to the heart that called your name.
Goodbye to the truth, to the fire, to the flame —
Goodbye, my sweet Line…
Goodbye, my love, again.

Verse 3
Goodbye the talks that bared our souls,
Goodbye the pieces time still holds.
Goodbye that gentle tilt, those closing eyes,
The peace that lived in midnight skies.

Bridge
Goodbye the embrace I longed to find,
The future built inside my mind.
Goodbye the ache that made me grow,
Goodbye, at last, to letting me go.

Final Chorus
Goodbye to the dream, goodbye to the pain,
Goodbye to the tears that fell like rain.
Goodbye to the story that love began —
Goodbye, my sweet Line…
My heart, my truth, my friend.

Outro
Goodbye, my love…
Goodbye, my sweet Line.

Goodbye My Love

A parent’s song to their kids — about holding on, letting go, and watching them grow. No matter how tall they get or how far they go, in a parent’s heart they’ll always be those little kids. “Always” opens the album with warmth, love, and a quiet ache that every mom or dad will recognize.

Always
[Verse 1]
I know it’s been a while /
Since we’ve had a chance to say /
Whatever it is / that may come our way //
I know / you’re a grown up now /
But you need to understand /
You’re still my little child right now //

(gentle pause — reflection before next verse)

[Verse 2]
You know everything /
Or so you try to prove /
Strong in your convictions / you can’t lose /
You say “I don’t need you now” /
It’s hard for me to comprehend /
You’re still my little child right now //

(slight breath — tone softens)

[Chorus]
I’m not blind / or naïve /
I’ve been in your shoes before /
I know the power you feel /
And the help you don’t need anymore /
I have to keep my voice silent /
And let you be on your way //
You’re still my little child and always //

(short pause — deep breath before resolution)

[Verse 3]
You know I’ll stay in the wings /
And watch your life play out /
Following the script you write /
As you go along your path /
Who am I to say /
Or interject my ways /
You’re not my little child right now //

[Chorus — Final]
I’m not blind / or naïve /
I’ve been in your shoes before /
I know the power you feel /
And the help you don’t need anymore /
I have to keep my voice silent /
And let you be on your way //
You’re still my little child and always //
I’m so proud of you right now //
