Lyrics:
I pack my suitcase at 6am but
Tiptoe through don't want to wake you dreaming here
I watch you fade in my rearview mirror
Thinking only of the good times we had there
I drive the highway with my windows down
Let the hours take me on to the next town
I pass the mile markers one by one
Each one tells a story bookmarked by your love
Today I have to go but
Don't worry, dear
Our love will find it's way but
Until then know I'll miss you while I'm gone
I think of when this started long ago
You caught me by surprise with love I did not know
I keep on driving now between the lines
Of giant redwoods and the promise in your eyes
We have had our share of ups and downs
Braved the worse to see the better come around
It's no secret that I've tripped and swayed
Through it all I am grateful that you've stayed
Today I have to go but
Don't worry, dear
Our love will find it's way but
Until then know I'll miss you while I'm gone
