I Say, “Goodnight”
I say, “Goodnight,” I say, “Goodbye,”I say, “Hello,” now don’t you cry,For life is short in many ways,We do not know how many days.

Gone With the Wind
Gone with the wind are people in sin,Following platitudes in their ingratitude.Beckoning not Him they forgot,Bent on their fortitudes, slaves to their hardihood.
