Two years old we were leaving, walking out the door,

I kissed you on the cheek and said I love you once more

You took me by surprise, shocked me standing still

on the first day you said goodbye.

Five years old we were leaving, walking out the door

I kissed you on the cheek and said I love you once more

thought, "It's hard to send them off to school"

and a tear gleamed in my eye,

standing in the classroom and that day you said goodbye.

10 years old we were leaving, walking out the door

I kissed you on the cheek and said I love you once more

She'll have fun at camp, I said, so why am I gonna cry

Then you looked at me and smiled and that day you said goodbye

Eighteen Years old we were leaving, Walking out the door

I kissed you on the cheek and said I love you once more

They say that college is easy, that's a fabricated lie

You told me not to worry and that day you said goodbye

Twenty Five years old you were leaving, walking out the door

I kissed you on the cheek, and said I love you once more

The cancer was just to sudden and I too wanted to die

You looked at me and held my hand with a smile on your face

Then you told me that you love me, and that day you said,

"goodbye".
