A long time ago
I had nothing to show
I had nowhere to go
I didn't know
Just what would become
Of a man's only son
Who couldn't love anyone
Without letting go
It gets so hard to remember
With every word that goes by
Cause this doesn't feel like December
And that didn't sound like goodbye
I've heard it said
That you'd been misled
You were too far ahead
Of your time
You took it all as it came
You even shouldered the blame
We never did know your name
We didn't even try
I feel like I should be dreaming
I feel like I should be high
I heard someone saying something
But it didn't sound like goodbye
As I was driving last night
I saw a sign on my right
It said that I'd see a light
Up ahead
And then it hit me right there
It came from out of nowhere
It almost didn't seem fair
It gets so hard to remember
With every day that goes by
Cause this doesn't feel like December
And that didn't sound like goodbye
That didn't sound like goodbye
