Rose_Macshane...I would love to see the lyrics, that way I could see if I wanted to look into it further. It has a nice melody I'm assuming?

Nothing beats Gershwin's "Every time we say goodbye" - that's an A+ tear-jerker!

Might not fit your need, but "I'm Going Back" from Bells are Ringing is terrific.

"A Change in Me" sounds good.


Silence seemed the only way. Now I understand it's cost.

I love "You'll Never Walk Alone". I want to do that for my graduation. I think it would be perfect for what you need.

The lyrics may be a little too “one-on-one” to direct to your hometown crowd, but how about “Goodbye For Now,” Sondheim’s theme to “Reds?” That last line (“somehow each hello, makes it worth goodbye”) is heartbreakingly perfect.

Liz Callaway does a flawless version on the “Unsung Sondheim” album.

"We'll never say goodbye" by Art Garfunkel is in the most fabulous movie of all time: SING! (which was a horrible flop, but I still loves is.)


There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

I have been searching high and low for "Saying Goodbye" from The Muppets Take Manhattan- anyone know where I can get a copy? I want to work it into a project that I'm working on this summer...

I second "Far From the Home I Love"


1. Ted Allen: Everyone has an interesting life if you ask the right questions.
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

GOODBYE UNTIL TOMORROW/ I COULD NEVER RESCUE YOU- The Last 5 Years. The first couple times I heard this song I cried, it's one of my favorites.

"Saying Goodbye" is seriously one of the biggest tear-jerker songs I have ever heard. I lost my dog of 13 years a couple years ago and right after heard that song for the first time. I bawled for at least an hour.

I might have a copy of it on my computer that I can send you if you still need it.

I have Saying Goodbye in a book "The Greatest Kid Songs Ever"..published by Hal Leonard. It's just the sheet music, not an arrangement, but I've used it for 5th grade end of the year type things...although with the particular group I had singing it, I couldn't wait until they left...LOL!
