This Day - Threnody

Leaving, leaving behind more than a memory

Leaving behind our days and time

Wish, want you here to stay, know you will have to go away

To where you long for, a far and distant shore

Must not forget, must not regret

Remember what we had, remember what we shared

The days of belief, the days of faith

Days of truth, days of freedom

In my heart there is sore

Will we meet, once more?

In my heart there is sore

Will we meet, once more?

Leaving, leaving behind more than a place to stay

Leaving behind our future plans

Wish, want you here to stay, know you will have to go away

To where you long for, a far and distant shore

All we had, all we lost

Will not forget, will not regret

Be all as one once said and gone

Together forever, this one is ours

Saying good-bye, leaving behind, always

Saying good-bye, leaving behind, always

Hope to meet again, meet again, and talk about the days

Be friends for more, be friends for more, than this day
