Going Going Gone
Love's Farewell: A Journey of Acceptance and Moving On
Lyrics
Going going gone
Expressing departure or ending.
If we can't get along
Highlighting difficulty in getting along.
Maybe a better man
Suggesting the possibility of a better partner.
Will step up, and hold your hand
Anticipating someone else to support and comfort.
Going going gone
Reiterating the departure or ending.
You're right, I'm wrong
Acknowledging a disagreement.
Be well, be strong
Wishing well and emphasizing strength.
You're not the one, the only one
Indicating the individual is not the exclusive partner.
Going going gone
Repeating the theme of departure.
Take the pictures on down
Suggesting removing reminders of the past.
Let others come, and hang around
Encouraging new people to enter one's life.
Little girl there in her dress
Referring to a young girl, perhaps symbolizing innocence.
Old enough now to know what's best
Implying maturity and the ability to make wise decisions.
Going going gone
Reiterating the theme of departure.
You're right I'm wrong
Reiterating a disagreement.
With the lights turned on
With lights turned on, possibly exposing the truth.
You're not the one
Emphasizing the non-exclusivity of the individual.
The only one
Reiterating that the individual is not the only one.
Going going gone
Repeating the theme of departure.
Keep her alive for awhile
Suggesting keeping memories or feelings alive temporarily.
Keep her alive in a jar in your mind
Metaphorically preserving someone in one's thoughts.
Keep her alive for awhile
Repeating the idea of keeping memories alive.
Keep her alive in a jar in your mind
Continuing the metaphor of keeping someone alive mentally.
Keep her alive for awhile
Reiterating the concept of temporary preservation.
Keep her alive in a jar in your mind
Continuing the metaphorical preservation in one's mind.
Keep her alive
Emphasizing the act of mentally keeping someone alive.
Going going gone
Repeating the theme of departure.
You're right, I'm wrong
Reiterating a disagreement.
Be well, be strong
Wishing well and emphasizing strength again.
You're not the one, the only one
Reiterating the non-exclusivity of the individual.
Going going
Continuing the theme of departure.
Going going gone
Repeating the idea of departure.
You're right I'm wrong
Reiterating a disagreement.
With the lights turned on
With lights turned on, possibly facing reality.
You're not the one
Emphasizing the non-exclusivity of the individual.
The only one
Reiterating that the individual is not the only one.
Going going gone
Concluding with the theme of departure.
