about

I wanted to convey the feeling of saying goodbye to someone at the airport or leave for a long trip. We've had to do that a few times in the past few months and it is always an emotional event.

lyrics

Tell them so.
Say "I love you" and "I need you" though
you think they know it.
Say it all the same.
It will take their breath away.

Loud and clear
I hear you darling now that we're all here.
Let's make the most of it and
make some hay.
It will only make our day.

Very soon you'll be
3,000 miles from me.
You'll see our family
and here I'll stay.
I'll silently pray
for just one more day
with you.

Understand, that long goodbyes
are for the weepers and
we'd better keep this short
and move along.
I can only be so strong.
