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
