This Is Not Goodbye
Mama and her little guy
Barefoot on the driveway in the morning light
His Daddy says â¬SIâ¬"ll see ya, sonâ¬
â¬SWeâ¬"ll be together when summer comesâ¬
[Chorus]
This is not goodbye
Iâ¬"ll be back in a little while
Lift up your head, look me in the eye
Itâ¬"s ok if you need to cry
But this is not goodbye
Itâ¬"s hard to start a brand new life
He misses Daddy and sheâ¬"s no oneâ¬"s wife
First day of school, she drives him there
He clings to Mama ⬘cause heâ¬"s just so scared
And she says
[Repeat Chorus]
Days turn to years, and heâ¬"s now eighteen
Wants to see the world, wants to spread his wings
She loves him, so she lets him go
Before he boards that plane, he lets her know mama
[Repeat Chorus]
Mamaâ¬"s fading and it wonâ¬"t be long now
He sits beside her, his head is down
She says â¬SIâ¬"m proud of you, youâ¬"re a good manâ¬
"Iâ¬"ll always love you so take my hand and remember
This is not goodbye"
