To Say Goodbye

He said I'll call you, hon, when I get there
Ten minutes later, he was in the air
She dropped the kids at school and headed home
Walked in and turned the from room TV on

She could tell there was something wrong
Every channel had the same thing on
Now seven years have come and gone away
But she's still hurting like it's yesterday

'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 goobye

He sits beside her in the nursing home
Through her silver hair he runs a comb
He hangs their wedding picture on the wall
She don't remember who he is at all

He tells her stories about the life he led
From their first kiss to their last grandkids
For seven months, now, she just sits and stares
But if she wakes up, he's gonna be right there

'Cause he wants to put his arms around her neck
And look in her eyes, so blue
And say, honey, I don't forget
A single day I spent with you

He wants to ttell her that he loves her so
And will until the day he dies
It ain't that she can't let her go
He just wants to say goodbye

No, it ain't that we can't let 'em go
We just want to say goodbye
