The Last Miles With You

You chased the morning down the silver road;

With your hand in mine and the sky all gold;

Every mile felt like a little prayer;

Laughing with the wind without a tear;

Now the headlights dim and the world slows down;

I hear tomorrow calling us back to town;

Oh, this trip was a beautiful dream;

Every sunset stitched into our memory;

But the closer we get to letting go;

The harder it is to watch the moment slow;

I never knew goodbye could hurt this much;

When every little thing was made of us;

You took my heart through valleys and rain;

Through sleepy motel lights and window pane;

We danced in the dark to a quiet song;

Like the road itself will keep us strong;

Now the suitcase waits by the door tonight;

And the stars look tired in the fading light;

Oh, this trip was a beautiful dream;

Every sunset sketched into our memory;

But the closer we get to letting go;

The harder it is to dodge the moment slow;

I never knew goodbye could hurt this much;

When every little thing was made of us;

If I could freeze the sun on your skin;

And live that little road again;

I would stay in the laughter, stay in the flame;

Stay in the way you call my name;

But time keeps moving, soft and cruel;

Leaving me here missing you;

Oh, this trip was a beautiful dream;

Every sunset stitched into our memory;

But the closer we get to letting go;

The harder it is to watch the moment slow;

I never knew goodbye could hurt this much;

When every little thing was made of us;

So I'll carry home what we became;

A heart full of light, a love with your name;

And the road goes on but

I'll always know;

We made forever out of one short trip;
