A beautiful song. The lyrics reflect on the truth of our existence, the passage of time, the coming and passing of all we experience, the passage of those we love and know. Taken on face value this might be a cause of sadness but the melody in which the words are set in a melody which is bright and optimistic, yet not overstated. It has a hint of regret but also one of thanks for what was.....goodbye, goodbye, my friend, keeps the value of the friendship/love even where it's lost. In a world where everything passes the only thing real is love for those who share it.
