When that moment comes
How do you say
Thank you for every moment
Til today?
There simply are no parting words
No encapsulation of good bye
Nothing written or that you've heard
That will do the job no matter how you
try.
How do you say 'this is it'?
Sum up all that made you and I
I'll think of so many words to say
One day as I remember, as I cry
It's not right now that I'll remember
I'm not thinking clearly anyhow
It'll be the quiet days in late
December
And I'll whisper 'I miss you now'
When a scent reminds me of days long
gone
When a song brings me to my knees
When I think I see you, but know I'm
wrong
When I feel your spirit in the breeze
When I hear your voice in a crowd
Or with friends, memories come to mind
As I move forward and hope you're proud
Or thinking back when it's my time
I simply don't want you to go
For all the reasons I hold you dear
And for all of that I still know
You'll be better off than you are here
A thousand images flicker through
The projector reel in my mind
Once I've said good bye to you
I'll be the one that's left behind
As my heart constricts
I set down my pen
And look forward to
When I see you again
