Gone To Stay

Baby when I'm gone
You know I think about you
You're growing up so fast
And I'm gettin' older too
And I've made mistakes
Yeah I'm living proof of that
All the wasted days
Can't ever get 'em back
Check my bags board again
It's a lonely flight from where I've been
Can't turn money back to time
Take it from me darling of mine
And I've been doubting it these days
The river it runs
Only one way
And when it's gone
When it's gone
It's gone to stay
Baby when I'm gone

You're learnin' how to live

Remember not to take so much
So you have something left to give

Just think of me in the love that I leave behind

Let it grow around you

Like a tie that binds

Half disconnected on the phone

I face the crowd but I sleep alone

Can't turn money back to time
Take it from me darling of mine

And I've been doubting it these days
The river it runs

Only one way

When it's gone
When it's gone
It's gone to stay
