Lyrics:
I left today, later than I’d planned
We talked all night, just holding hands
They slept upstairs in our bed
While I packed my bags, alone with my dread
The house was quiet, but it still sang
Of coffee cups, late nights, and wedding rings
Time’s cruel the way it slips away
No matter how we begged it to stay
We said it’s not goodbye, just see you soon
But this morning still felt like a closing tune
Saying goodbye though I wanted to stay
Nothing we said could make it okay
I cried in his arms, and she cried in mine
We promised somehow we’d be fine
Tomorrow I’ll be far, but at least I know
Our love is worth this sweet sorrow
Sweet sorrow
We had our dates and family nights
We laughed, we fought, everything was right
We planned the future, our hopes and dreams
But the clock kept pulling at the seams
We always knew what I’d have to do
Say goodbye to get back to you
I pulled away, couldn’t hold back tears
The road ahead held nothing but fears
Speakers played our favorite song
The empty seat just felt so wrong
Every mile hurt more than the last
But love like this is worth making last
We said goodbye and it broke our spirit
We knew it was coming, but we still feared it
I cried in his arms and she cried in mine
We know it’s not forever, just a matter of time
I’ll be states away this time tomorrow
But love overcomes our sweet sorrow
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Sweet sorrow
