Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't tell where the sky begins and the water ends
No clouds to hide the sun
Waves playing me a symphony upon the sand
As I lay drifting on the ocean with this bottle in my hand
[Verse 2]
Sat down on the boardwalk for a little while
Your memory my company
Something 'bout this place had a way to make you smile
You always loved the sound of waves
[Verse 3]
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle still can't blow away the sorrow
That tomorrow you won't be here with me
So, I raise it up and toast the day we met
Won't forget the way you love me, amazing way you love me
[Verse 4]
It's bittersweet, you see
You're not here, but I can feel you
Every memory is on the tip of my tongue
Close my eyes, see your face, hold on tight to yesterday
And when I wake, it was just a dream
It's bittersweet
[Verse 5]
Doctor said, "There's nothing we can do"
Took my hand, said, "Take me home
To the only place with half a chance to take the pain away
Let me feel alive before I go"
[Verse 6]
You said life is only borrowed, so let's wash away our sorrow
That tomorrow I won't be here with you
Go and live your life with no regrets
Don't forget how much I love you
I love you
[Verse 7]
It's bittersweet, you see
You're not here, but I can feel you
Every memory is on the tip of my tongue
Close my eyes, see your face, hold on tight to yesterday
And when I wake, it was just a dream
It's bittersweet
[Verse 8]
I brought you back just like you wanted
So you don't ever have to leave
And when I poured you across the southern sky
I couldn't help but to cry
I know you finally got your wings
Bitter, bittersweet
Bittersweet
Oh-oh, oh
[Verse 9]
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle still can't blow away the sorrow
That tomorrow you won't be here with me
So, raise it up and toast the day we met
Won't forget the way you love me, amazing way you love me
It's bittersweet
