Why We Said Goodbye

(Billy Kirsch, Tom Douglas)

I remember Sunday mornings walking 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 dance upon your face

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

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`re sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life

And I just can`t remember why we said goodbye

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 searching for the wind

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

Everything I do

Leads me back to you

I know I just can`t let us go

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
