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 FRONT ROOM

T.V. ON

SHE COULD TELL

THAT 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

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 GOODBYE

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

'BOUT THE LIFE

THEY'VE LIVED

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 WON'T FORGET

A SINGLE DAY

I SPENT WITH YOU

HE WANTS TO TELL HER

THAT HE LOVES HER SO

AND WILL UNTIL

THE DAY HE DIES

IT AIN'T THAT HE 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
