You came smiling
With nowhere to go

Staying by my side
Helping me to grow
Now you've decided (to go)

I'll always forgive you for missing the party
Why do you have to go?
I know you have to go
I'll always forgive you for missing the road
But you have to go
I know you have to go
but I'll miss you 'though
I am missing you so

Now we are crying
But our place will always stand
With our names written deep
I hope you understand

Just stay by my side
And help me to grow
Sing one more song (but go)

I'll always forgive you for missing the party
Why do you have to go?
I know you have to go
I'll always forgive you for missing the road
But you have to go
I know you have to go

But I'll miss you 'though
I am missing you so
