It's so hard to say goodbye
And when I do I want to cry
But I've got to let you fly
Oh
Wish this song could make you stay
Seven months I heard you say baby
As you checked your messages this morning
Pack your bags leave it all for a country far away
The job that you'd been dreaming of was calling
It hasn't been very long
At least according to my closest friends
Watch your heart take it slow have some fun is all they say
But now I keep spending all the time I can with you
It's so hard to say goodbye
And when I do I want to cry
But I've got to let you fly
Oh
Wish this song could make you stay
Wish this song could make you stay
Funny how this twist of fate baby
Goes to show that nothing's ever perfect
I had to kiss a lot of frogs till he finally came along
But now we don't have a lot of time to work with
You'll be away for so long
Already writing letters in my head
So we talk and we laugh like we'll always be together
As we take one step closer to the edge
But we still pretend
It's so hard say goodbye
And when I do I want to cry
But I've got to let you fly
Oh
Wish this song could make you stay
It's so hard say goodbye
And when I do I want to cry
But I've got to let you fly
Oh
Wish this song could make you
Wish this song could make
Wish this song could make you
I wish that I could make you stay
