Life is full of goodbyes as people come and go in our lives. This amazing song from Amanda Marshall captures the bittersweet sting of these exits. Sometimes we don’t realize it’s a farewell. Looking back, I’m grateful for each and every beautiful goodbye I’ve experienced because it made me who I am today. Even when they seemed ugly at the time, they are beautiful when you look back at it with perspective.
Here’s the music video which is just as beautiful as the song itself.
Beautiful Goodbye
Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think Ill take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesnt really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and i
And that beautiful goodbye
We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I dont really miss you, I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and i
And that beautiful goodbye
When I see you now
I wonder how
I couldve watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye
In these days of no regrets
I keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just cant help but wonder why
We let it pass us by
When I see you now
I wonder how
I couldve watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye
