A long time ago I had nothing to show I had nowhere to go I didn't know Just what would become Of a man's only son Who couldn't love anyone Without letting go It gets so hard to remember With every word that goes by 'Cause this doesn't feel like December And that didn't sound like goodbye I've heard it said That you'd been misled You were too far ahead Of your time You took it all as it came You even shouldered the blame We never did know your name We didn't even try I feel like I should be dreaming I feel like I should be high I heard someone saying something But it didn't sound like goodbye As I was driving last night I saw a sign on my right It said that I'd see a light Up ahead And then it hit me right there It came from out of nowhere It almost didn't seem fair It gets so hard to remember With every day that goes by 'Cause this doesn't feel like December And that didn't sound like goodbye That didn't sound like goodbye
