Why We Said Goodbye Lyrics

(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 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
