Capo 4
CHe said I'll call you Hon when I get there,
AmTen minutes later he was in the air,
FShe dropped the kids at school and headed home,
GWalked in and turned the front room TV on
CShe could tell that there was something wrong,
AmEvery channel had the same thing on,
FNow seven years have come and gone away,
GBut she's still hurting like its yesterday,
‘Cuz she wants to put her arms arounCd his neck,
and look in his eyes so blAmue,
and say Honey I don’t regFret,
A single day I spent with yGou,
She wants to tell him that she loCves him so,
and will until the day she diAmes,
It ain’t that she can’t Flet him go,G  
She just wants to say goodbyCe
He sits beside her in the nursing home,
Through her silver hair he runs a comb,
He hangs their wedding picture on the wall,
She don’t remember who he is at all,
He tells her stories about the life they’ve lived,
From their first kiss to their last grandkid,
For seven months now she just sits and stares,
But if she wakes up he’s gonna be right there,
‘Cuz he wants to put his arms around her neck,
and look in her eyes so blue,
and say Honey I won’t forget,
a single day I spent with you,
He wants to tell her that he loves her so,
and will until the day he dies,
it ain't that he can't let her go,
He just wants to say goodbye
No it ain’t that we can’t leFt them go,G  
We just want to say goCodbye

Capo 4

He said I'll call you Hon when I get there,

Ten minutes later he was in the air,

She dropped the kids at school and headed home,

Walked in and turned the front room TV on

She could tell that there was something wrong,

Every channel had the same thing on,

Now seven years have come and gone away,

But she's still hurting like its yesterday,

‘Cuz she wants to put her arms around his neck,

and look in his eyes so blue,

and say Honey I don’t regret,

A single day I spent with you,

She wants to tell him that she loves him so,

and will until the day she dies,

F G

It ain’t that she can’t let him go,

She just wants to say goodbye

He sits beside her in the nursing home,

Through her silver hair he runs a comb,

He hangs their wedding picture on the wall,

She don’t remember who he is at all,

He tells her stories about the life they’ve lived,

From their first kiss to their last grandkid,

For seven months now she just sits and stares,

But if she wakes up he’s gonna be right there,

‘Cuz he wants to put his arms around her neck,

and look in her eyes so blue,

and say Honey I won’t forget,

a single day I spent with you,

He wants to tell her that he loves her so,

and will until the day he dies,

it ain't that he can't let her go,

He just wants to say goodbye

F G

No it ain’t that we can’t let them go,

We just want to say goodbye
