Bye Bye Eddie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's so long ago but I still remember The time when we were just friends Two little kids playing in the backyard Dreaming 'bout cowboys and Indians And I still recall the day we played football And you felt flat on your face What I didn't know that my tears of laughter Would make you feel so ashamed [Chorus] So, bye, bye Eddie Bye, bye my friend It's so long since we talked and made castles of sand But I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then [Verse 2] Well I think of that summer, angry dog in that garden I encouraged you to get the ball You came running and screaming When you finally got it You didn't see the little fence at all Then a couple of years later when we're playing football A neighbor said, "Here's what I gotta say Did you hear the rumor about Eddie's family? I heard they're moving away" [Chorus] So, bye, bye Eddie Bye, bye my friend It's so long since we talked and made castles of sand But I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then [Verse 3] One day I stopped by and I knocked on your front door Yeah, I was just fooling around When I looked through the window, no furniture left there And only some stains on the ground One day, afternoon, half a year later My mother came to pick me up from school When I looked at her face I could tell that I didn't want the truth "Son, he died on vacation, there's no explanation I'm sorry to tell you your best friend is gone" And with tears in our eyes we walked to your old house that night [Chorus] Singing, bye, bye Eddie Bye, bye my friend It so long since we talked and made castles of sand But I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then Singing, bye, bye Eddie Bye, bye my friend It so long since we talked and made castles of sand I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then [Outro] And maybe one day I will see you again
