Down by the lake, warm afternoon
Breezes carry children`s balloons
Once upon a time, not long ago
She lived in a house by the grove
And she recalls the day when she left home
Chorus
Long goodbyes make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And thouigh I hate to go
I know it`s for the better
Long Goodbyes make me so sad
Forgive my leaving now
You know I`ll miss you so
And days we spent together
Long in the day, moon on the rise
She sighs with a smile in her eyes
In the park, it`s late afterall
She sits and stares at the wall
And she recalls the day when she left home
