It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday

The speaker is struggling to part with a shared past. The good memories matter more than the painful ones, but the future they expected together has disappeared. The song moves from sadness and uncertainty toward a small source of comfort: remembering what they had may help the speaker face what comes next.

“Forever has blown away” suggests that a lasting future once seemed certain but has vanished, like something carried off by the wind. “This road” is an image for the unknown path ahead; the speaker cannot see where life will lead, and can only look back at what they have experienced. Memories as “sunshine after the rain” suggest that happy recollections may bring warmth and hope after a difficult time.

The lyrics do not explain why the goodbye is happening, so it could reflect a separation, a loss, or another major change. The speaker is not simply rejecting the past: they accept that it is over while choosing to carry its memories forward. That choice offers comfort, though it does not make letting go easy.
