Wundervolles Lied

Saying goodbye was easy before

Saying goodbye was easy before,
Crying at the airport, tears on the floor,
A phone call to Norway was a simple choice,
Things got better when I heard your voice.

Saying goodbye was easy before,
Flying Transatlantic to a girl I adore,
Canada in the distance, a love unsaid,
Bye to parents and family, a new life ahead,

Let me whisper in your ear,
I will miss you so,
Each passing day, year after year.

Saying goodbye was easy before,
You got married, a love to fall for,
From Sola to Oslo we watched you go,
Became a doctor, some time ago.

Saying goodbye was easy before,
Quickly back to that hospital floor,
To hold each of our girls and a boy,
Oh those babies, we did enjoy.

Let me whisper in your ear,
I will miss you so,
Each passing day,
year after year.

Saying goodbye was easy before,
Off to work, flying out the door,
Later to pick up the kids or the food,
We worked hard together I do conclude.

Saying goodbye was easy before,
Off to school, home at four,
After handball, dance or football,
A hug before bed, you loved us all.

Let me whisper in your ear,
I will miss you so,
Each passing day,
year after year.

Saying goodbye is hard today,
A wife, a mom, has gone away.

Let us whisper in your ear,
We will miss you so,
Each passing day,
year after year.
