Tami Mulcahy: Got Music!

Leaving So Soon

(White Wall CD)
2005-05-03
Grandmothers…the love, the guilt!! That’s where this song started. And no, I don’t have a kid leaving for college but I only have to look to my little ones to imagine how it must…will feel.
Went to visit my grandma
Heard she was feeling a little low
Her age was really showing
God it’s hard to get old

We walked in her garden
Said anything that came to mine
We held hands and laughed a lot
Then the time came to go

Chorus
LEAVING SO SOON
I’d love you to stay
But oh, the young are always eager to be on their way
The older I get, I sing a different tune
Seems I’m always saying
LEAVING SO SOON

For me and my boy
This was quite a big day
I poured two cups of coffee
And thought of what I’d say

Then he stood in the doorway
Car keys in his hand
He said everything I need for school
Is packed up in the van

Chorus repeat

Bridge
It’s easier to let go when there’s so much time ahead
And harder when the memories out weight
The moments we have left

Chorus repeat
