Lyrics

We were walking through the park
Kicking pebbles down the path
She was counting every step
While I tried to make her laugh
Then her hand slipped out of mine
As she drifted to the side
By the time we reached the benches
Something tender had died

I never thought I’d find
The good in goodbye
I walked that path alone
Just to feel the ache inside
I counted every bench we shared
When I thought she was mine
But I can see it now
The good in goodbye

Now there’s someone by my side
She walks that path with me
Slows down when my voice cracks
And lets the silence speak
Past the bench where that goodbye
Still whispers through the trees
I say a silent thank‑you
For the day she chose to leave

I never thought I’d find
The good in goodbye
Now we walk that path together
Her hand in mine
As we pass by that old bench
I breathe a quiet sigh
’Cause I can see it now
The good in goodbye

Funny how one stroll
Can show you what you need
How a worn‑out path and old park bench
Can help you find your feet
I’m not saying it was easy
But I’d still choose where I am
’Cause goodbye’s fertile ground
Where I learned how to stand

I never thought I’d find
The good in goodbye
Now we walk that path together
Her hand in mine
As we pass by that old bench
I breathe a grateful sigh
’Cause I can see it now
The good in goodbye
