Tell me when the time we had slipped away
Tomorrow turned to yesterday
And I don't know how
Tell me what can stop this river of tears
It's been building up for years
For this moment now
Here I stand
Arms open wide
I've held ya close
Kept ya safe
Till you could fly
Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind
And how to say goodbye
Tell me why
Why does following your dreams
Take you far away from me
And I knew that it would
Tell me how to fill the space you left behind
And how to laugh instead of cry
And how to say goodbye
Here I stand
Arms open wide
I've held ya close
Kept ya safe
Till you could fly
Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind
And how to say goodbye.

Review about How To Say Goodbye Amazing Song & Video | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/27/09
I cry every time I watch this video. I can't help but be reminded that my own daughter will soon be dating, graduating high school, going away to college, getting married, and starting a life of her own one day.
An amazing soon and video from one of my favorite artists.

Beautiful, thanks for posting. A great Amy Grant lyric and Smitty tune...magic! Inspired by his daughter's moving out. He cried for days, so he says. Sounds like him... :) Amazing video to go with it, made my dad cry.
Every time I hear this song I think of the fact that the last of my 3 kids will be graduating soon. And how I will soon be saying goodbye to him as he follows his dreams just as his brother and sister did before him. It is not that they are saying goodbye forever...but that they are embarking on the rest of their lives and I know that this may mean that I will take a back seat in his and their lives instead of always being right beside him. It is exactly what we do as parents...hold them close and keep them safe until they can fly and then let them go...If I never knew the meaning of bittersweet...I do now!!

I don't really know what to say...I just know this song made me stop and think! I'm getting married in augost and my dad is devasteded.I always though he was just being selfish and that he should have got used by know (we have been engage for 4 years now) but I never though much about how he must feel with me leaving mainly because I was always a daddy's girl. I feel awful now for being so rude to my dad...I'm gonna try to make each moment worth while and to be sure he knows I'll always be he's "daddy's girl" =')
Thank you and God bless
How To Say Good Bye | Reviewer: Liz | 2/3/09
I havent seen or talked to my dad for a little over 7 months after he kicked me out 4 the second time in my life when I was 20 & the first time when I was 16, and because of our pride neither one of us has bend, but I think it might be time to talk to him and tell him how I feel, thnx to this song I realized that. Every word of this song is us, I guess, but he doesnt know that, yet.......
How to say goodbye | Reviewer: Nicole | 1/18/09
This song reminds of my dad.
In 2005 he left me. He made me cry for hours and days, years and so on. I miss him very much, and he makes me very sad sometimes, because .. i know that he could have done so much more. Just to keep me beside him. I love him very much, and he know's that i love him very much too.. so to the point, i love this song, it reminds me of my missing dad because he made me to say good bye.
I've had to say goodbye to two sets of parents... first my biological parents, and then my addopted parents. Family breakups are painful... but learning from them is good too. This song... just reminds me that I have to be strong enough to follow God... even if it means saying goodbye to people.

This song really opened my eyes. Its not talking about death, if you've seen the video. But thats what I think of when I hear it. My grandpa past away in November of 2006. Its been a little over a year now and I still haven't healed. He was the closest person too me. I always get mad when people say "Everything happens for a reason". because there wasn't a reason. I miss him. This song makes me think of all the memories... it doesn't make me cry because when I think of him, I should be happy.. I shouldn't cry =D
I'm 20 and I know that one day I leave my home ,years go so quickly and I don't want to see that day, I love this song it make me cry every time I hear it:(
Keeps Reminding Me | Reviewer: Sackey Tetteh | 1/14/08
This song always reminds me of how I parted with my first girl friend. As painful as was it ways it keeps reminding of the other side of love - letting go.
