Lyrics

he was born and raised a good Christian
with a mother that loved her and a father that taught her well
She leaves at the end of the summer
I can’t make her love me and maybe its just as well

So go ahead and say your goodbyes
In the end everybody cries
But I won’t be the one who’s crying tonight
As the sun sets on blood red skies

And when she’s done with her schooling
She’ll be out on the road and never looking back again
She loves this life spent alone
With nothing but the memory of her mother and a childhood friend

So go ahead and say your goodbyes
In the end everybody cries
But I won’t be the one who’s crying tonight
As the sun sets on blood red skies

Don’t tell me there’s plenty of fish in the sea
I’m sorry I don’t see things that way
There’s only one woman in this world for me
And I don’t understand why
I can’t make her stay

Many years down the road
She’ll be all alone and the happiest she’s ever been
I can only hope that in the back of her mind
That maybe she still thinks of me

So go ahead and say your goodbyes
In the end everybody cries
But I won’t be the one who’s crying tonight
As the sun sets on blood red skies
