"Goodbye for Now" is the closing theme for The Book of Pooh. It is performed by the cast and was written by Brian Woodbury and Mitchell Kriegman. In the song, the characters sing goodbye to the viewers and about adventures that they will have the next time we come into The Book of Pooh. It is also
known as "Now It's Time To Close The Book". Pooh enters Christopher's room and then his friends come and sing. When they are done singing, they jump back into the book, after which Christopher comes in and closes it and the credits roll.
The song has two forms, the original version, and a shortened version. The original version was used on the initial broadcasts of the program and on all home video releases. The shortened version was used once educational recaps were added to the end of
each episode. The original version is featured as the final track on the album Songs from The Book of Pooh but is altered so that the cast performs the later verses, rather than a male chorus, as on the program. The shortened version was featured as Track 11 on the original
Playhouse Disney album release.
An instrumental-only version of the song can be heard at the end of Stories from the Heart, as this release ends with Christopher Robin telling a story to the characters.
Lyrics
Original version
Pooh: Now's the time to close the book
Piglet: Though we've just begun, it's true
Tigger: We'll say goodbye until another day
Pooh and Piglet: Another day with new adventures on the way
Tigger: They're on the way
Pooh and Piglet: We're on our way
All: So off we go, we won't be far
We'll be waiting here for you
Pooh: With hills to run
Tigger: And higher trees to climb
Piglet: And someone there to catch you
All: In the nick of time
So it's goodbye for now
To all of you
We'll meet again when you all come
Into The Book of Pooh
Goodbye for now
(Goodbye for now)
(Goodbye)
To all of you
(To all of you)
(To you)
Chorus: From here among all the best of friends
Here where the story never ends
Back in the Hundred Acre Wood
Here in the Book
of Pooh
(Instrumental break)
Back in the Hundred Acre Wood...
Here in the Book...of...Pooh.

Is Winnie the Pooh leaving Disney?
Disney No Longer Has the Exclusive Rights to Winnie the Pooh, But He Isn't Going Anywhere. On January 1, 2022, Winnie-The-Pooh — written by A.A. Milne and published in 1926 — officially entered the public domain — which means that Disney no longer has exclusive rights to the material.
