The night was quiet, the air so thin
Your shadow fading where we’d been
You didn’t speak, but your eyes knew
The silence held a thousand truths
I felt the weight of time inside
A gentle storm we couldn't escape
Every word we left unsaid
Still lingers here within my head
Fragments of a gentle goodbye
Fall like whispers across the sky
Shattered pieces of what we were
Remain, though the world has turned
Fragments of a gentle goodbye
Soft as tears you refused to cry
Even when tomorrow calls
Your memory won’t fade at all
We stood beneath the amber glow
The moment stretched, but told us “go”
Your hand slipped slowly out of mine
Yet left its warmth, frozen in time
The fading light, the trembling air
Carried the love we used to share
And though the night was closing in
I felt your soul beneath my skin
Fragments of a gentle goodbye
Fall like whispers across the sky
Shattered pieces of what we were
Remain, though the world has turned
Fragments of a gentle goodbye
Soft as tears you refused to cry
Even when tomorrow calls
Your memory won’t fade at all
Maybe love was meant to break
To teach us hearts can bend, not fade
Even if you walk away
You live in me in every way
Fragments of a gentle goodbye
Carved forever where dreams reside
Every echo of your touch
Still reminds me I loved too much
Soft farewell pieces
Shine like stars in a sleepless sky
Even when the night moves on
Your song in me will still be strong
Gentle goodbye…
Gentle goodbye…
You’re still here… though you’re gone tonight…
