Capo 2

Summer came and days grew long
Lilacs bloomed ‘round Meulfront pond
First place I ever held his hand
Timeless walks and breathless nights
Went rushing past like geese in flight
I was prayin’ it was never gonna end
Then the autumn leaves were blazin’ like the fireworks in July
And for a fleeting moment, that flame was in his eyes
But as quickly as the colors came
They burned out of the sky

Chorus:
Goodbye, Adios
See you later I gotta go
I’ve been holding on too long
This is my leaving song

I’ll take one last look around
Pull up roots that I put down
Drive across that Hastings County line
I’ll trade a part of who I was
For a future I’m not certain of
But I’ll keep the best of what I leave behind
Oh I’ll miss those Sunday mornings and those Friday football games
A peace that comes from knowing some places never change
That’s the reason that I’ll miss it
And the reason I can’t stay

Goodbye Adios
See you later I gotta go
I’ve been holding on too long
This is my leaving song
This is my leaving song
