lyrics

They took him back to where he grew
The same old house, the same porch too
Where he'd learned to climb, where he'd learned to fight
Chasing fireflies under pale moon light

The family knew there weren't long left
Said his goodbyes tore up old regrets
He'd been ready now for a year or two
How he spoke of her and his heart turned blue

Each day he still remembers
The life that they once shared
How she taught him everything
And he was lost without her there
Then he'd lean in, with those sparkling eyes and say,
This is what you do
Love that girl like each days your last 'cos we'll be going soon

He met her down by the waterfront
Auburn hair tied up in a bun
She was different, she stood up to him
She made him work for everything

He taught her how to swim and fish
Those secret spots, the flick of a wrist
And she taught him how to tear walls down
How the heart will grow if you let it out

Somedays he still remembers
That night out on the pier
When he first said I love you,
Darling don't you leave me here.
She said, Life, it offers no guarantees
So this is what you'll do
Love me like each day's your last 'cos we'll all be going soon

They left the island took the bridge across
Kept on driving till that car was shot
Took what was left bought a bungalow
She said, It isn't much but I'll make it home

Two boys, a girl and the one they lost
That October night, the falls first frost
How he thought back then his heart was done
But she picked it up and she soldiered on

Somedays he still remembers
The first place that they bought
The kids all shared a bedroom
It was all they could afford
And when they lost their first child
It was her strength that pulled them through
She said, Love them like each day's your last 'cos we'll all be going soon

They found a spot where they both could sit
Started slowing down, making the most of it
And the kids would visit once the leaves had turned
Bring the little ones they named after her

He didn't notice that much at first
But as the shadows grew the days got worse
Her mind was going that much was clear
He was watching as she disappeared

Each day he still remembers
The last night that they shared
The hum of AM radio
He took his time combing her hair
And as she faded out that Sunday night he said, What's there left to do?
I've loved you like each day's my last now you'll be going soon
I've loved you like each day's my last now you'll be going soon
I've loved you like each day's my last and I'll be coming soon
