When you remember this song,
I’ll be long gone,
But I’m not leaving you today.

You may shed a tear,
To find that I’m not here,
But I’m not leaving you today.

The hands of fate,
Have left me running late,
When I should be on my way.

And though in my heart,
I am ready to depart,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’ve been steady as a rock,
Just sitting on the dock,
So I’m not leaving you today.

Well I know that I will cry,
When it’s time to say goodbye,
But I’m not leaving you today.

So please don’t fear,
As the day draws near,
We’ll watch the tide roll away.

For there will always be a spark,
However far apart,
And I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you today.

Hot sun, lazy days,Day dreamin’ in the summer haze,Slowin’ down and losing track of time.
Warm nights an ice cold beer,Nothing but the crickets singing in my ear,It feels good to be back home again.
It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,Just two kids falling in love,Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,It was all so long ago,But there’s no place quite like home.
Married now, with a couple a kids,Oh time flies but that’s the way it is,Where did those 25 years go?
Sometimes going back,Is the only way to keep your present day on track,You need to see how far you've come.
It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,Just two kids falling in love,Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,It was all so long ago,But there’s no place quite like home.
