As Good As Goodbye Gets

We said our last "I love you"
As we held each other tight
With years of tender feelings
Overflowing from our eyes
Now here I am with memories
All alone with no regrets
And that's as good as goodbye gets

You did a lot of living
As you walked these earthly miles
It's funny, though I'm crying
Still somehow, I have to smile
'Cause your life, your love, your laughter
Touched everyone you met
And that's as good as goodbye gets

There's a deep, deep sadness
That comes with letting go
But even though I'm grieving
There is peace and there is hope

'Cause everyone who knew you
Knew the heartbeat of your days
Your eyes were fixed on Jesus
Now you're finally face to face
And I'll join you there in heaven
When my last sun sets
And that's as good as goodbye gets
That's as good as goodbye gets
