The Last Goodbye Lyrics

I left her by the lake that night

I couldn't even say goodbye

Sometimes I still see her by the trees

Calling softly, carried by the breeze

I thought she'd return with the morning light

But the dawn just brought an endless night

I'm tryin' to believe

What am I missing

Why is this happening to me

I left her by the lake that night

I couldn't even say goodbye

The sand still holds her steps so deep

A vow I couldn't even keep

If I had known that was goodbye

I'd have held her close, I'd have tried

But now the water reflects her face

A memory I cannot erase

I'm tryin' to understand

What am I longing for

Why can't I hold your hand anymore

I left her by the lake that night

I couldn't even say goodbye

The sand still holds her steps so deep

A vow I couldn't even keep

She left me alone

She never came back home
