As the sun starts fading
we both know whats to come
so hold all of your contemplating
cause i'll be right back once my traveling is done
of the beaten path
that my father once went
with a backpack full of memories
of the time that we spent
forget all this talk of being forgotten
those on the outside have no say
so tell me you'll wait love
just for a little while, now
let me see that smile
wipe those tears away
theres no need to cry
i know that i'm leaving tonight
but this isn't goodbye
oooooh
it's time for me to go away
to play for strangers
and tell tales of a love pure and true
and if they knew me any better
they'd put two and two together
and they'd know that im singing about you
so let the people care
where about my heart resides
and all those lonely days
and all those sleepless nights
so just remember
we're getting closer and closer
till the day i'm back by your side
so tell me you'll wait love
just for a little while, now
let me see that smile
wipe those tears away
theres no need to cry
i know that i'm leaving tonight
but this isn't goodbye
the wheels are finally starting to turn
time for me to put to use the things
that i've learned
but don't be concerned, no
i swear i'll race to you
upon my return, so
wait love
just for a little while, now
let me see that smile
wipe those tears away
theres no need to cry
i know that i'm leaving tonight
wait love
just for a little while, now
let me see that smile
wipe those tears away
theres no need to cry
i know that i'm leaving tonight
But this isn't goodbye
no this isn't goodbye
