G#
5 G#M bags are packed
F#
Don't know when he's coming back home again
G#
Gives the kids a kiss goodbye
F#
She's holding back the urge to cry, hoping
A#m
Wishing there's something that
F#
She can do other than hold him
G#
He wiped her eyes, said "It's time."
F# G#
Under the doorway she told him
[Chorus]
F# G#
Call me when you get there
A#m C#
Tell me you got there safe
F# G#
I'll be waitin' right here
A#m C#
Can't wait to hear you say
F#
That everything is goin' fine

You made it there and you're alive

Ya know I'll be missin' your face

Doesn't need her dad around no more

His heart's about to leave his chest

Crazy how fast they get older

Seems like it was yesterday

That he first got to hold her

He wiped her eyes, said "It's time."

Sixty years side by side
F#
Still feels like he stole her

Through the best, through the worst

Just feels lucky to know her

"And when this ride ends
F# G#
If you go first," he told her

Tell me you got there safe

I'll be waitin' right here
