Why We Said Goodbye

Tim McGraw

I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach 
And that place we'd stop for breakfast 
With the old red vinyl seats 
The hours of the tide chart 
The way the sunlight dance upon your face 

That antique roller coaster you just had to ride 
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes 
The color and the detail 
Just like it was yesterday 

And I remember how you held me the night my father died 
I didn't have to tell you 
I just broke down and cried 
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life 
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye 

Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit 
I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is 
The sails out in the harbor 
Are searching for the wind 

I just had to call you, I had to hear your voice 
And tell you I still love you, we still have a choice 
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life 
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye 

Everything I do 
Leads me back to you 
I know I just can't let us go 

There must have been a reason
But I can't remember now 
I know if I could hold you, we could work it out 
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life 
And girl, let's give it one more try 
Cause I just can't remember why we said goodbye
