Although you're leaving us today,
the memories, the friendships
and all our silly jokes will stay.
They'll stay with you forever,
while you continue on your way.
And yes, you may
be thinking,
what else is there to do
but leave and say "goodbye"?
that unexpected, bittersweet cliché
that always makes us cry...
I'll tell you what else!
I'll tell you what else!
And don't you dare
roll your eyes
or sigh!
This world is a tiny, tiny place
and no matter where you fly,
we'll always be with you,
standing by your side.
So say no goodbyes!
Say none at all or ever!
The future's even less predictable
than weather!
You're never alone,
we're all together!
"See you soon,"
is what you'll now say!
Without an ounce of
hesitation or dismay.
Don't look back!
Allé! Allé
Me? I've got something
in my eye...
Go! Go now and seize the day!
(-- Sky
Come back soon!)
