Leavin' Song 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 peace in flight I was prayin' it was never gonna end Then the autum leaves were blazin' Like the fireworks in July For a fleeting moment That flame was in his eyes But as quickly as the colors came They burned out of the sky 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 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
