G               D 
Summer came and days grew long 
C                     G 
Lilacs bloomed 'round Meulfront pond 
G             D             C     D     
First place I ever held his hand 
G                  D
Timeless walks and breathless nights 
     C                 G 
Went rushing past like geese in flight 
      C              D           G
I was prayin' it was never gonna end 
         C                                   Em 
Then the autumn leaves were blazin' like the fireworks in July 
    C                           Em
And for a fleeting moment, that flame was in his eyes 
       C                 
But as quickly as the colors came
Am                     D
They burned out of the sky 


Chorus:
    C   D   G
Goodbye, Adios 
        C     D       G
See you later I gotta go 
C         D               Em   Am
I've been holding on too long
C       D          G 
This is my leaving song 

I'll take one last look around 
Pull up roots that I put down 
Drive across that Hastings County line 
I’ll trade a part of who I was 
For a future I'm not certain of 
But I'll keep the best of what I leave behind 
Oh I'll miss those Sunday mornings and those Friday football games 
A peace that comes from knowing some places never change 
That's the reason that I'll miss it 
And the reason I can't stay 


Goodbye Adios 
See you later I gotta go 
I've been holding on too long 
This is my leaving song 
This is my leaving song
