The Long Goodbye

Intro [Spoken Word] The Long Goodbye Inspired by a conversation at the Amtrak station. Verse 1 Caught the morning train with a phone on a stand, Trying to hold onto moments instead of just plans. Said, "I just got back from seeing my girl," But home is where his family still anchors his world. Verse 2 He spends his days right by his mama's side, Through every hard morning and every dialysis ride. Doctors say there's still years left to see, But every sunrise means a little more to me. Chorus We're living through the long goodbye, Holding onto today while tomorrow passes by. Every laugh, every hug, every prayer whispered low, Love teaches us the hardest thing we'll ever know. You don't wait until they're gone to say they're worth everything... Sometimes life is just the long goodbye. Bridge When the weight gets heavy, he turns the music loud, House beats shaking every worry from the clouds. Dreaming of trains, new places, open skies, But never too far from the people in his life. Final Chorus We're living through the long goodbye, Finding hope beneath an endless sky. With faith in tomorrow and love strong enough to carry us through, Every goodbye becomes "I love you."
