Meta Finis: Gone

The question is asked of a group of broadway dancers, "What would you say if you knew this was the last day you could dance?"

These are the lyrics of the song answer to that question:


"Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love

Look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
And I won't forget what I did for love
What I did for love

Gone
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember

Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love

What I did for love
What I did for
Love
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember

Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow

Point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love what I did for love
What I did for love"

I cannot hear this song without weeping.
It was played at a memorial service
at the request of the mother
of an 18 yo killed in a single car auto accident.

I love the lyric and find it enlightened.
We all will have to kiss today good bye
And we would do well to be singing these lyrics
perhaps living them daily.

In memory of Pat.
