~Friday~ From the very first listen to Barbra Streisand's Release Me CD, months ago now, this was my favorite song on it.
I know relationships end for a thousand different reasons, and sometimes the sentiment in this song is not possible, but I'm thankful that I have parted amicably with the people I have loved in my lifetime.
When it's over, really over,
There ain't nothin' can start it over again.
Pack your bags and leave, ain't no use to grieve.
Though you've lost a lover, try to win a friend.
The parting’s easier when there are smiles instead of tears.
In your dreams you see that moment even if you live a million years.
Shake hands goodbye then, for remember when;
Though you've lost a lover, try to win a friend.
Let him go home, and cry your eyes out,
You'll only feel a little better.
Try to keep your body busy and let your mind forget him.
'Cause when it's over, really over,
There ain't nothin' can start it over again.
Shake hands goodbye then, for remember when;
Though you've lost a lover, try to win a friend.
Though you leave behind a lover,
Leave behind a friend.
Try to win a friend.
