Leaving Song

Summer came and days grew long

Lilacs bloomed 'round meulfront pond

The first place I ever held his hand

Timeless walks and breathless nights

Went rushing past like geese in flight

I was praying it was never gonna end

Then the autumn leaves were blazing

Like the fireworks in july

And for a fleeting moment

That flame was in his eye

But as quickly as the colors came

They burned out of the sky

Goodbye, adios, see you later

I've gotta go, I've been holding on too long

This is my leaving song

I'll take one last look around

Pull up roots that I put down

Drive across that hastings county line

I'll trade a part of who I was

For a future I'm not certain of

But I'll take the best of what I leave behind

I'll miss those sunday mornings

And those friday football games

And the peace that comes from knowing

This place will never change

It's the reason that I'll miss it

And the reason I can't stay

Goodbye, adios, see you later

I've gotta go, I've been holding on too long

This is my leaving song

Goodbye, adios, see you later

I've gotta go, I've been holding on too long

This is my leaving song

This is my leaving song
