[00:10.507]It's so hard to say goodbye
[00:15.220]And when I do I want to cry
[00:20.563]But I've got to let you fly (oh)
[00:26.805]Wish this song could make you stay
[00:29.373]
[00:38.893]Seven months I heard you say, baby
[00:43.869]As you checked your messages this morning
[00:48.674]Pack your bags leave it all for a country far away
[00:53.755]The job that you'd been dreaming of was calling
[00:59.251]It hasn't been very long
[01:04.067]At least according to my closest friends
[01:08.882]Watch your heart, take it slow, have some fun is all they say
[01:13.511]But now I keep spending all the time I can with you
[01:23.232]
[01:23.648]It's so hard to say goodbye
[01:28.488]And when I do I want to cry
[01:33.919]But I've got to let you fly (oh)
[01:39.952]Wish this song could make you stay
[01:45.056]Wish this song could make you stay
[01:48.249]
[01:52.088]Funny how this twist of fate, baby
[01:57.170]Goes to show that nothing's ever perfect
[02:01.815]I had to kiss a lot of frogs till he finally came along
[02:06.577]But now we don't have a lot of time to work with
[02:12.733]You'll be away for so long
[02:17.436]Already writing letters in my head
[02:22.220]So we talk and we laugh like we'll always be together
[02:27.476]As we take one step closer to the edge
[02:33.637]But we still pretend
[02:36.509]
[02:36.845]It's so hard say goodbye
[02:41.870]And when I do I want to cry
[02:47.198]But I've got to let you fly (oh)
[02:53.478]Wish this song could make you stay
[02:56.406]
[03:15.077]It's so hard say goodbye
[03:19.837]And when I do I want to cry
[03:25.013]But I've got to let you fly (oh)
[03:31.301]Wish this song could make you
[03:33.853]Wish this song could make
[03:36.433]Wish this song could make you
[03:40.005]I wish that I could make you stay
