(Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum)

As I pack my bags and follow all my dreams

I really hate to see you cry

You know it hurts me too

This is how it's got to be

The time has come for me to fly

You know you keep me hangin' on

It's our love that makes me strong

You're the world to me for eternity

[CHORUS]

So I'm looking back on yesterday

And how we laughed until we cried

And we feel it as we're all growing older

It's so hard to say good-bye

Once again it's hard to say good-bye

As I stare into the hourglass of life

I think of how I left you then

When my life is over and all is said and done

You can hear me sing this song again

You know you keep me hangin' on

It's our love that makes me strong

You're the world to me for eternity

[CHORUS]
