Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your coffee on the counter
Half a cup and one last stain
You said you had to find your own way
I just watched you drive away
Keys still hangin' on that nail
Your old sweater on my chair
Every corner of this farmhouse
Got a memory of you there
[Chorus]
I’ll love you till my last goodbye
Till the day they lay me down
You can run to some new sunrise
I’ll be rooted in this ground
You might change your name and number
You might fade out of my life
But my heart signed on forever
I’ll love you till the day I die (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Your mailbox still says your name
I can’t bring myself to scrape it off
Your dad still waves from his old tractor
Thinks I’m holdin’ up real tough
But the truth is in this quiet kitchen
Two plates set out
One stays dry
I pour your chair a cup of coffee
Talk to ghosts and don’t know why
[Chorus]
I’ll love you till my last goodbye
Till the day they lay me down
You can chase a different skyline
Lose this small and dusty town
You might find the arms you wanted
You might call that a better life
But my heart signed on forever
I’ll love you till the day I die (til the day I die)
[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll remember
How we danced in Friday rain
If it brings you just one soft smile
That might ease a little pain (yeah)
I ain’t askin’ you to come back
I ain’t beggin’ for a sign
I just made a promise once
And I keep what’s yours and mine
[Chorus]
I’ll love you till my last goodbye
Till the day they lay me down
You can write me out your story
Turn my name to common sound
You might never send a postcard
Never see these tired eyes
But my heart signed on forever
I’ll love you till the day I die
Yeah my heart signed on forever
I’ll love you till the day I die (ohh til the day I die)
