Leaving Song Lyrics - The Wilkinsons

Summer came and days grew long 

Lilacs 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
