Kiss Today Goodbye

I'm having a weird day. The temperature went down considerably overnight and this morning is chilly. I love it. But it makes me feel like summer is going by very fast.
It doesn't help that last week we had school orientation for the kids and we were overloaded with information about the upcoming school year and life after high school.
Yes, I have a child that age.
A very old song came to mind and has stuck there. An old Marvin Hamlisch song — What I Did For Love. But I like the first line better than the title.

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 carry 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

Gone, love is never gone
And we carry 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
