Goodbye my friend, goodbye

I have to say goodbye to you today.
I really don’t want to! But it’s not for me to say.
Looks like that cheeky smile and glint in your eye,
has attracted interest from a greater force up high.
Only the good ones are ever taken from us!!!!
I have to say goodbye to you today!!
I DON’T WANT TO but it’s really not my say.
