Now and forever
Holding on to memories
Of past and present
And of you and me
The picture is fading
Into black
Nothing to sustain it
Nothing to hold you back from leaving
Goodbye, you're gone

Counting the days
Till October nights when
You will be back home
Remembering the ways
You used to say,
"You make me so happy"

Sweet summer days of old
Late night drives all alone
Turn to autumn dark and cold
And times when we're on our own
Goodbye, you're gone

So I'll take my chances
And see where this goes
I feel that there's something
That no one else knows
And I dont know if you feel
The same way I do
I pray to God hoping
That your heart is true
I write you these letters
And sing you these songs
But I know when I'm with you
Things can never go wrong
But you'll find the right guy
With things that i lack
You can forget about me
Dont let me hold you back

Suffering through endless nights
You're keeping me from sleep
This distance between us is not right
You mean so much to me
Goodbye, you're gone

Counting the days
Till October nights when
You will be back home
Remembering the ways
You used to say,
"You make me so happy"
