If I had the power to change this, I would

I'd make you stay here forever, if only I could.

But I know that I can't, and I won't make you stay

I'll just be glad that you're mine, for at least one more day.

I don't want to say goodbye, but I will.

I don't want to watch you go, but I will.

I don't want to hold back the tears, but I will.

And I'll be waiting for you here until

your time is up and you can come back on home

But I have to admit, it'll hurt like hell while you're gone.
