Goodbye To Roseland Lyrics - Styx

Written by dennis deyoung 

Lead vocals by dennis deyoung 

There was a time 

When we were children 

Blue skies would shine 

And all was forgiven 

And there were heroes to guide us 

And we had family beside us 

And there were dreams to believe in 

Each and every day 

And I was your friend 

Father and brother 

And you were my wife 

Mistress and mother 

And through the good times and bad times 

We shared the love of a lifetime 

Oh what a shame and a damn crime 

For it all to end 

So goodbye to roseland 

How I wish I could stay 

To live in the memory 

Of your sweet sweet day 

But every road that we travel, has an end 

And so the time now has come to say 

Farewell old friend
