Lyrics:
Goodbye, No use leading with our chins,
This is where our story ends,
Never lovers, ever friends.

Goodbye, Let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely wanna say

I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love

And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
