His bags are packed again
He'll be two weeks gone
Goodbye is never easy
Even one night feels long
Wrapped in his arms
My tears stain his sleeve
Holding me close he said
You must know this before I leaveI will be going
I take you with me
I will be going
It's how it's meant to be
I will be going
But I won't be too far
Because my heart will always be
Where you areHe's all grown up now
Our precious baby boy
Eighteen years of love
Our hearts never knew such joy
He's ready to move on
It's what we prepared him for
But we couldn't know this feeling
As he stood at the door and saidI will be going
I take you with me
I will be going
It's how it's meant to be
I will be going
But I won't be too far
Because my heart will always be
Where you areAs she laid in the bed
I held her hand in mine
Doctors came and went
The clock on the wall clicked time
Her breath slowly fell
And in her eyes I could see
The time had come
And she softly whispered to me
I will be going
I take you with meI will be going
It's how it's meant to be
I will be going
But I won't be too far
Because my heart will always be
Where you are
Where you are
