You looked back and smiled at me
Across the crowded airport
As you walked away
Fourteen years disappeared
And I was watching you
Walk away in a different airport
And a different time.
I cried again
Unashamedly
To lose you once more.
Sometimes it seems
My whole life is spent
Saying goodbye to you.
If I could love God
The way I love you,
I'd be a saint.
Maybe that's why
I always have to say
Goodbye.
