"To Say Goodbye" is a song written and recorded by American country duo Joey + Rory.

In the first verse, the song describes a woman whose husband was killed in 9/11, and in the second an old man whose wife has Alzheimer's and cannot remember who he is.

'Cause she wants to put her arms around his neck, and look in his eyes so blue And say "Honey I don't regret a single day I spent with you" She wants to tell him that she loves him so, and will until the day she dies It ain't that she can't let him go, she just wants to say goodbye Joey + Rory dedicated a special website to coincide with the single's release, an online community where people could share their personal stories and potentially say goodbye to the loved ones even after they're gone.

[2] Joey Martin uploaded a video of her talking about how she herself didn't get the chance "to say goodbye" to her brother Justin, who died in a car crash in July 1994.

"National tragedies and personal illnesses are certainly legitimate concerns for musicians and artists to address, but this song indulges melodrama with no real focus or point."
