I know it's not easy When I tell you I'm leaving From the tears in our eyes We both know that you're not coming with me It's not the first time It won't be the last Just make sure you tell my baby girls Their dad will be back We'll try to stay close So far away And when you open your eyes You'll see what I'm seeing Another sunrise We're still here breathing For better or worse These are the lives that we're leading But our love is like an echo That keeps on repeating It keeps on repeating By this timetomorrow I'll be home in west hartford Just like time never stopped and I'm back in the place where I started So let's go to the movies Take the kids out to play But whatever we do let's make it last Cause we've just got today We'll try to stay close So far away.
