How do we say goodbye, To what we had? The good times that made us laugh Outweigh the bad... We thought we'd get to see forever But forever's gone away... We don't know where this road Is going to lead All we know is where we've been And what we've been through If we get to see tomorrow We hope it's worth all the wait... And we'll take with us the memories To be our sunshine after the rain. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. BROWN FUNERAL HOME CREMATION CENTRE ENTRUSTED WITH ARRANGEMENTS.
