Had to Go Away Lyrics

I know it's been years since he

Said goodbye, and I

Know you still see his face and I

Know you still cry when you

Think about all that

Could of been if his

Life hadn't been taken

Away from him, and I

Know that you wanted him to stay

But he had to go away

Here he could not remain

Never saw tomorrow day

Folks said what a shame

That he had to go away

His senses were overcame

Even with the Novocaine

He couldn't numb the pain

No no no no I

Know that you wanted him

To stay, but he had to go

Away, away, away

One starry night he looked

Into that void, he

Hadn't felt that free since he

Was only a boy, so he

Leapt through that door

Into the unknown,

Far from those watching eyes

Further down below, and I

Know that they wanted him to stay

But he had to go away

Here he could not remain

Never saw tomorrow day

Folks said what a shame

That he had to go away

Control he could not retain

Seasons went and came but

He still felt the same

No no no no I

Know that you wanted him

To stay, but he had to go

Away, away, away

Now he's gone

Where nobody knows

Yet still the world rushes on

And still the wind blows and you

Know this story will

Always be told,

A shining light

Burned so bright

Then left the world

So cold and I

Know that you wanted him

To stay, but

Never think he went away

In vain

Just like every shooting star

Remember how lucky that you are

He came, he came, he came, he came, he came

But he had to go away

Here he could not remain

Never saw tomorrow day

Folks said what a shame

That he had to go away

Couldn't escape the fame, cause

They all knew his name

But they don't know his pain

No no no no I

Know that they wanted him to stay

But he had to go away

Away, away

He had to go away

Here he could not remain

Never saw tomorrow day

Folks said what a shame

That he had to go away

Nothing can stay the same oh

I wish I had a way

To bring him back one more day o

No no no no I

Know that you wanted him

To stay, but

Never think he went away

In vain

Just like every shooting star

Remember how lucky that you are

He came, he came, he came, he came, he came
