  • How do I say goodbye to what we had?
    The good times that made us laugh
    Outweigh the bad

    I thought we'd get to see forever
    But forever's gone away
    It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

    I don't know where this road
    Is going to lead
    All I know is where we've been
    And what we've been through

    And if we get to see tomorrow
    I hope it's worth all the wait
    It's hard to say goodbye to yesterday

    And I'll take with me the memories
    To be my sunshine after the rain
    It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

    And I'll take with me the memories
    To be my sunshine after the rain
    It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday Writer/s: Christine Yarian Perren, Frederick Perren

  • Warm from PhillyABC BBD, cooley high, went there for 10th grade, was very chill, we played sports outside and did class work in doors, not like todays kids all pampered with air conditioning and showers, but we loved it, Motown philly sound, 123 BBD, can anyone think of what was better in 1992 then these guys singing, other than like a chalupa or something like that these guys made music, was great to see them inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 2020, they lead the way for Dr Dre and the west coast sound of Tu Pac, rest in piece
  • Kenny from Cleveland OhioIt' not used in Cooley High about the sadness of High School ending. Boyz II Men also made several mistakes in the lyrics in their re-make.
  • David from Lewis, Ksthey played this for my friend when he was being buried. kinda comforting and relateable....RIP CORY JOSEPH REYNOLDS
