At this moment, it's our time
At this moment I'm allowed to think you're mine
We can joke, laugh, and smile
But I know that just in a little while
I'll stand and watch

It's just about that time I fear
The time I realize soon you'll no longer be here
And I'll have to choke out the word "goodbye"
As I use all my strength trying not to cry
Because soon I'll stand and watch

So now it's time for our famous hug
You squeeze me tight so I feel all your love
Now you get into your car and drive away
I open my mouth but I don't know what to say
So now I just stand and watch

I watch you drive down the street
As the world spins violently under my feet
The car slowly goes out of sight
In my heart I know something's not right
But still I stand and watch

I'll stand and take the blow
Only thinking of how I never wanted you to go
The hug lingers and I know you're not to blame
I know you feel the same
It's more time we wish we had
So I stand there and whisper "I love you dad"
