Lyrics

Goodbye

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]

Flying high, touch the sky

Going to places I never knew

So goodbye

And hello, long ago

I can see history

Standing still, a mystery

If you will, pardon me

I'm away for the day

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]

Feels so good to be soaring

Because L.A. was so boring

Goodbye

There must be room for growing

Somewhere else and I'm going

Goodbye

[Outro: Peter Cetera]

The days and the nights have gone dry

The last three whole years have flashed by
