Lyrics

It's the night before I say goodbye I'm lying here awake
I push you away like I've done for two weeks Since you went away
The house has all gone quiet The phone has stopped its ring
Tomorrow they'll all gather round And say some lovely things
They'll talk about your sweetness Your mischief and the love
And I'll stand there and do my best To open to it all
How do I say goodbye To someone always there
To a voice that filled the rooms To eyes that filled with care
How do I say goodbye When I think you may walk in the door
When you've given me everything you had And still I wanted more
I keep expecting one more call One more creaking of the floor
One more chance to tell you things I've never said before
For two weeks I've been drifting Between what's true and not
Tomorrow I'll try to say goodbye Tonight I still cannot
How do I say goodbye When it would break my heart
When words would mean nothing How would I even start
How do I say goodbye When nothing feels the same
And every road I walk from here Still rings out with your name
For ninety-seven years You moved through every life you touched
I feel my grief may come to be The measure of our love
How do I say goodbye I wish somehow I knew
Maybe I learn to carry you In everything I do
How do I say goodbye As the moon slowly ascends
Tomorrow I will say goodbye But it won't be the end
