Gone To Stay lyrics

Baby, when I'm gone You know I think about you You're growing up so fast And I'm gettin' older too And I've made mistakes Yeah, I'm living proof of that All the wasted days Can't ever get 'em back Check my bags, board again It's a lonely flight from where I've been Can't turn money back to time Take it from me, darling of mine And I've been doubting it these days The river, it runs Only one way And when it's gone (when it's gone) It's gone to stay Baby, when I'm gone You're learnin' how to live Remember not to take so much So you have something left to give Just think of me in the love that I leave behind Let it grow around you Like a tie that binds Half disconnected on the phone I face the crowd, but I sleep alone Can't turn money back to time Take it from me, darling of mine And I've been doubting it these days The river, it runs Only one way When it's gone (when it's gone) It's gone to stay
