He would always say goodbye
every morning every night
He would always say take care
Brush his fingers through her hair
Months together turned to days
The last week was just a haze
For so long as they could stand
He reached out to hold her hand
They knew he'd leave in a week
So he kissed her on the cheek
Told her softly 'now take care'
Brushed his fingers through her hair
Then with one last heartful sigh
He took a breath and said goodbye

He would always say goodbye
every morning every night
He would always say take care
Brush his fingers through her hair
Months together turned to days
The last week was just a haze
For so long as they could stand
He reached out to hold her hand
They knew he'd leave in a week
So he kissed her on the cheek
Told her softly 'now take care'
Brushed his fingers through her hair
Then with one last heartful sigh
He took a breath and said goodbye
