Goodbye My Friend

Oh the winds of change are blowin'
Sometimes it seems that all good things must come to an end
We all knew this day was coming
But ya know it's just not easy to say goodbye to a friend
This place will never be the same without you in it
No one to tell us like it is and like it isn't
The way you do, and seasons change
The years go by, and lives we share
And now the time has come to say goodbye my friend
What will we do without the queen
It's been so good, but now the time has come
To say goodbye, goodbye my friend
Oh you run a real' tight ship, you're a mover and a shaker
And that you care shows right on through
You are loved and respected, with hearts of admiration
We want you to know, we don't want you to go
This place will never be the same without you in it
No one to tell us like it is and like it isn't
The way you do, and seasons change
The years go by, and lives we share
And now the time has come to say goodbye my friend
What will we do without the queen
It's been so good, but now the time has come
To say goodbye, goodbye my friend
We know you really won't be that far away
But we'll be missin' you, no one can replace
But there she goes, and seasons change
The years go by, and lives we share
And now the time has come to say goodbye my friend
What will we do without the Queen
It's been so good, but now the time has come
To say goodbye, goodbye my friend
We don't want to say, goodbye my friend
