Why We Said Goodbye

[Verse 1]

I remember Sunday mornin's

Walkin' on the beach

And that place we'd stop for breakfast

With the old red vinyl seats

The hours of the tide chart

The way the sunlight danced upon your face

[Verse 2]

That antique roller coaster

You just had to ride

I remember how you laughed

At the terror in my eyes

The color and the detail

Just like it was yesterday

[Chorus]

And I remember how you held me

The night my father died

I didn't have to tell you

I just broke down and cried

You are sewn into the fabric

The pieces of my life

And I just cannot remember why

We said goodbye

[Verse 3]

Up and down this boardwalk

Lonely people sit

I know it wasn't perfect

But nothin' ever is

The sails out in the harbor

Are searchin' for the wind

[Chorus]

I just had to call you

I had to hear your voice

And tell you I still love you

We still have a choice

You're sewn into the fabric

The pieces of my life

And I just can't remember why

We said goodbye

[Bridge]

Everything I do

Leads back to you

I know

I just can't let us go

[Chorus]

There must have been a reason

But I can't remember now

I know if I could hold you

We could work it out

You're sewn into the fabric

The pieces of my life

And girl let's give it one more try

'Cause I just can't remember why

We said goodbye
