Summer came and days grew long Liliacs bloomed 'round Meulfront Pond The first place I ever held his hand Timeless walks and breathless nights Went rushing past like geese in flight I was praying it was never gonna end Then the autumn leaves were blazing Like the fireworks in July And for a fleeting moment That flame was in his eye But as quickly as the colors came They burned out of the sky Goodbye, Adios See you later I've 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
I'll trade a part of who I was For a future I'm not certain of But I'll take the best of what I leave behind I'll miss those Sunday mornings And those Friday football games And the peace that comes from knowing This place will never change It's the reason that I'll miss it And the reason I can't stay Goodbye, Adios See you later I've gotta go I've been holding on too long This is my leaving song Goodbye, Adios See you later I've gotta go I've been holding on too long This is my leaving song This is my leaving song
