Denny's Goodbye
Here we are
With our dreams in the sky
We all have our dreams
It's wonderful to know
We're alive At the end

It's over

There you are
At the end of the show
Mem'ries are real
It's wonderful to know
You're alive
At the end

Thank you very much
For everything
I've ever wanted

Thank you very much
For everything
I've ever needed

Thank you very much
for everything
I've ever dreamed of

It's over

Thank you

"The End of the Show"
Dennis Wilson/Gregg Jakobsen ©1977 BMI music

You passed through time
like a rider from another dimension.
you were never tied to things –
you knew material things could not be possessed
that they were only ours on loan.
You knew that fame and all its attractions
cannot endure –
you knew the real reality was giving and love.
You are free now –
you have been released from time –
you seem more real to me now –
tThought I cannot see you –
I cannot touch you –
thank you for helping me see
that we are here to help each other.
It is the only answer
to the madness –
the reckless pursuit
the crazy rush for immortality
that is not based on truth –
the illusion
that things can satisfy –
all the riches of the world
cannot bring us the humility we need
to save ourselves –
only love that is lived and expressed
can do that
love that meets the needs of people
only the thirst that cannot be quenched
by things
will bring us life that is real
life that is worthwhile
dennis that is your real message
that is what you wanted
to do good
to help the unfortunate
the crippled physically
mentally and emotionally –
those who did not get a fair shake –
we talked about it many times –
dennis this is the way I remember you.
