Still A Long Way from Goodbye
INTRO
VERSE
We had it all—
Big house—front porch—a yard with a dog
Living a Hallmark dream
Somehow the world crept in
And my heart was gone along with--
Half of everything
CHORUS
Now I’m—learning how- to live again—day by day
Finding my way back into a place—
Where the sun still shines (echo)
And I’m—standing tall- on my own—step by step
Finding how to breathe—breath by breath
I will survive
But the tears have yet to dry
I’m still a long way from goodbye
VERSE
She’s really kind-
The kind that’s really hard to find
So patient with me
And she understands I’m not where
I need to be to be there
Completely free
Cause I’m still--
REPEAT CHORUS
(INSTRUMENTAL)
BRIDGE
One day your memory will fade
And I’ll turn the page
But I’m still
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
Still a long way from goodbye
