Between Goodbye & Gone Lyrics by Karen Lee Batten

Cause A Scene

0

(Dedicated to Mike Norman forever an inspiration to so many you'll always be heard... and never forgotten)
Step by step she tip-toes down the stairway
Piece by piece she packs up her whole life
Word by word she writes a goodbye letter
And leaves her wedding ring for him to find
And a thousand thoughts run through her mind
Like screenshots of the better times
Somehow she never realised how far it was between goodbye and gone
Bringing home that new used car a christmas tree with a tin foil star and on and on. the roads at least a million memories long
Between goodbye and gone
Blink by blink she tries to stop the teardrops
Beat by beat she listens to her heart
Inch by inch she backs up to the front door
She can't believe it's really gone this far
'cause it was three years before he carried her through this same door
How did that almost perfect life end up here
Between goodbye and gone
The night she drop the birthday cake
The crazy love they used to make and on and on. the roads at least a million memories long between goodbye and gone
She closes up her diary the only one who knows how close she came to leavin' him some thirty years ago
Love's still there and time still flies
The grandkids all have grandpa's eyes
On and on she's glad she left her doubts where they belong
Between goodbye and gone
