Goodbye to Roseland Lyrics

Written by Dennis DeYoung

Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

There was a time

When we were children

Blue skies would shine

And all was forgiven

And there were heroes to guide us

And we had family beside us

And there were dreams to believe in

Each and every day

And I was your friend

Father and brother

And you were my wife

Mistress and mother

And through the good times and bad times

We shared the love of a lifetime

Oh what a shame and a damn crime

For it all to end

So goodbye to Roseland

How I wish I could stay

To live in the memory

Of your sweet sweet day

But every road that we travel, has an end

And so the time now has come to say

Farewell old friend

Well goodbye to Roseland

How I want you to know

Just how much I miss you

So I got to let go

But all the love that you gave me will remain

And every tear that I've cried has not been shed in vain
