It's been a while since we said goodbye
But sometimes seeing you still makes me cry
You were my always, my far away home
From the streets of Manhattan to nights alone
In Rio's skies, we'd count the stars
Hoping distance wouldn't pull us apart
We tried every way to make it last
But love can't live only in the past
It's good to see you happy, good to see you smile
Even if we're separated by a thousand miles
We burned so bright, but burned out too
Still I'm proud of all you're growing into
I'm still healing, and I know you are too
But it's good to see you, even without me and you
You looked like peace in yesterday's sun
Not quite the boy, not yet the one
We knew we'd lose if we held too tight
So we let go, though it never felt right
I still remember the love in your eyes
And the ache we shared in our long goodbye
We tried every way to make it last
But love can't live only in the past
It's good to see you happy, good to see you smile
Even if we're separated by a thousand miles
We burned so bright, but burned out too
Still I'm proud of all you're growing into
I'm still healing, and I know you are too
But it's good to see you, even without me and you
And I know we'll always meet again
Not as lovers, but as good friends
No regrets, just a quiet grace
For what we had and what we faced
Good to see you happy, good to see you smile
Even if we're separated by a thousand miles
We burned so bright, but burned out too
Still I'm proud of all you're growing into
I'm still healing, and I know you are too
But it's good to see you, even without me and you
Good to know you're happy, good to see you free
Even if your dreams no longer include me
We wrote a love song and now it's done
But some songs end before they're sung
