Always

[Verse 1] I dreamed of the day That I'd hold you in my arms again Read you all the letters I wrote, never sent Give you all the pieces of me Put 'em back together Put 'em back together again Life has a way of writing your story for you And the hero doesn't always get his girl What if you could change the ending To the novel they've been writing Leave no resolution [Chorus] So goodbye Carolina Searched my whole life to find you I hate to leave you But I hope you'll know Where I'm going I'll be seeing you So hold my hand as I'm leaving Hoped my pain would be enough reason I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky Now I'm going Hate to tell you goodbye [Verse 2] Say it takes a selfish man To leave on out from his old hometown Without saying why he's going But you can come take the rest of me Early in the morning Tell me your goodbyes Where I'm going I won't have these reminders Of what I lost and what was taken away from me And I hope you'll understand I was a broken man in my own hometown Need to find my own peace [Chorus] So goodbye Carolina Searched my whole life to find you I hate to leave you But I hope you'll know Where I'm going I'll be seeing you So hold my hand as I'm leaving Hoped my pain would be enough reason I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky Now I'm going Hate to tell you goodbye [Interlude] [Chorus] So goodbye Carolina Searched my whole life to find you I hate to leave you But I hope you'll know Where I'm going I'll be seeing you I'll be seeing you, I'll be seeing you
