Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Snow fell light on the gravel road,
The kind he used to drive when the crops were sowed.
December skies, they seemed to weep,
As I sat home, wide awake, couldn’t sleep.
I got the call, my heart went still,
But I stayed put, against my will.
[Chorus]
I missed the last goodbye, oh, I stayed behind.
Thought there’d be more time, oh, more time to find.
But the clock struck twelve, and he was gone,
Now New Year’s feels so empty, so wrong.
[Verse 2]
He wore his wisdom like a Sunday coat,
In every story, every note he wrote.
His hands built fences, his words built me,
But I stayed away, oh, foolishly.
Now the frost on the fields feels sharp and cold,
A regret that time just won’t console.
[Chorus]
I missed the last goodbye, oh, I stayed behind.
Thought there’d be more time, oh, more time to find.
But the clock struck twelve, and he was gone,
Now New Year’s feels so empty, so wrong.
[Bridge]
The calendar’s just paper, but it holds the pain,
Of the day I let my heart refrain.
If I could turn back, oh, I’d drive that road,
Hold his hand before the story closed.
[Chorus]
I missed the last goodbye, oh, I stayed behind.
Thought there’d be more time, oh, more time to find.
But the clock struck twelve, and he was gone,
Now New Year’s feels so empty, so wrong.
