Lyrics:

                                                  
That Goodbye

Verse:

i remember when
I first heard mother cry 
Talking to dad 
Her voice shaking, sad
Late one night 

Grandma had grown frail 
A new chapter had begun 
Roles would be changed 
Days re-arranged 
A life at dusk, a setting sun 

chorus:

we live our lives
holding on
preparing 
to let go
of the first ones
we ever loved
whose hearts
are our home
who nurtured us
helped us grow,
gave us wings to fly

God give me the strength
when i need to say
that last goodbye

verse

It scared me to hear her tears 
But now I know what I didn’t then
i’m a grown-up with a child inside
that is terrified
At the thought of losing them 

now it’s my turn to take their hands
promise not to let them fall
say daddy did you eat
momma you need some sleep
i’ll just be right down the hall

chorus:

we live our lives
holding on
preparing 
to let go
of the first ones
we ever loved
whose hearts
are our home
who nurtured us
helped us grow

gave us wings to fly

God give me the strength
when i need to say
that last goodbye


bridge:

momma will you sing to me
that old lullaby 
that always made me smile
when you tucked me in at night
daddy will you help me
tell me not to be afraid
like you did when i was six
and starting the first grade
will you promise me once more
that i’m gonna...

be okay

chorus:

we live our lives
holding on
preparing 
to let go
of the first ones
we ever loved
whose hearts
are our home
who nurtured us
helped us grow,

gave us wings to fly

God give me the strength
when i need 
to say 
that last goodbye
