Why do I go? We already know Still we go through this every time Although we know the answer It's still so hard to do A blessing and a curse The best and the worst Our future changes every day So lonesome and so lucky So sad and yet so true So now I'll go I have to go Though once again I feel my heart divide Yeah, if I could be I would be Two places at one time A song before you sleep A song for you to keep 'Cause when you wake I will be gone A melody for company For when I'm gone too long [chorus] So while I'm away You can count the days And I'll look forward to what I left behind The time will fly and so will I And I'll breathe you in again [chorus]
