One Last Goodbye

I see your face across the crowd,

The boarding calls are ringing loud,

Your hand in mine is shaking slow,

Time is cruel, it tells me “go.”

The glass between us starts to rise,

I drown inside your teary eyes,

Every heartbeat says “hold on,”

But the moment pulls me on.

I wish I could freeze this place and time,

But the world moves on, and I can’t hide.

So I’ll kiss you once more, right here at the gate,

A promise on lips that refuse to wait,

Though the sky divides us, love will remain,

I’ll carry your soul through the clouds and the rain.

This isn’t forever, just one last goodbye,

‘Til I’m back in your arms, where the world feels right.

Your shadow lingers on the floor,

I turn, but still want so much more,

The engines roar, the windows shake,

But nothing breaks the vow we make.

I’ll hold on to the warmth of your hand,

Every mile between us I will stand.

So I’ll kiss you once more, right here at the gate,

A promise on lips that refuse to wait,

Though the sky divides us, love will remain,

I’ll carry your soul through the clouds and the rain.

This isn’t forever, just one last goodbye,

‘Til I’m back in your arms, where the world feels right.

Distance can’t erase what’s true,

Every mile leads back to you,

Close your eyes, feel my heartbeat near,

I’m with you, love, I’ll always be here.

So I’ll kiss you once more, right here at the gate,

A promise on lips that refuse to wait,

Though the sky divides us, love will remain,

I’ll carry your soul through the clouds and the rain.

This isn’t forever, just one last goodbye,

‘Til I’m back in your arms, where the world feels right.

One last wave, one last smile,

It’s only distance, just for a while,

Hold on, my love, the days will fly,

‘Til the airport becomes our hello, not goodbye.
