Goodbye My Friend
Spice Girls · Other Songs - Spice Girls
Listen little child, there will come a day
When you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain, or the aggravation
You know there's a better way, for you and me to be
Look for a rainbow in every storm
Fly like an angel, heaven sent to me
Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (gotta keep it strong before the pain
turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never change it - no no no
No no no no
Just a little girl, big imagination
Never letting no-one take it away
Went into the world, what a revelation
She found there's a better way for you and me to be
Look for a rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain, love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby
Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (gotta keep it strong before the pain
turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never change it
No no no no
You know it's time to say goodbye
No no no no
(bridge)
The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamt you'd go your own sweet way
Look for a rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby
Goodbye my friend (I know your gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (you gotta keep it strong before the
pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it time will never never change it
No no no no
you know it's time to say goodbye
No no no no
and don't forget you can rely
No no no no
you know it's time to say goodbye
No no no no
and don't forget on me you can rely
No no no no
I will help, help you on your way
No no no no
I will be with you every day
no no no no
