He said I'll call you hun 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 hurtin' like it's yesterday Cause 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 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 bout the life they've lived From their first kiss to their last grandkids For seven months now she just sits and stares But if she wakes up he's gonna be right there Cause 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 let 'em go We just want to say goodbye
