(Verse 1) Sunrise paints the morning gold, the coffee's getting’ cold, I got my suitcase by the door, A stage, bright lights, a different path, Heartbreak's rockin' to my core, The future’s callin' me, But seeing your sweet face, Makes it hard to start, Leavin' you behind, hi… hind, Will surely break my heart. (Chorus) But dry your eyes for me, When you wake and find me gone, Don't let the sorrow linger, Like a sad, forgotten song, 'Cause there's a light I'm leavin' on, Though it isn't mine to tend, Cause her good heart’s waitin' patiently, Just around the bend, She'll be here when the dust settles, She'll be here when skies are grey, And though it tears my heart in two, Bay… ay… bey, I know you'll be okay. (Verse 2) This dream of mine is strong, a current I must ride, Leavin' you feels wrong, but there’s nowhere left to hide, From this ache inside my chest, this bittersweet release, And knowin' your future happiness, brings my heart some peace, She deserves a love like yours, steady, strong, and true, And maybe my leaving, is the door her love walks through. (Bridge) That girl down the road, With eyes so kind and deep? The way she always helps you out, The promises she'll keep? I've seen the way she watches you, When talkin' with the guys, A silent, hopeful tenderness, Reflected in her eyes, You see a trusted friend, Someone who understands, You don't see the gentle love, that she holds in her hands, And yeah, I like her, truth be told, She's got a steady soul, She fits within your life, She’ll make your heart whole. (Chorus) So dry your eyes for me, When you wake and find me gone, Don't let the sorrow linger, Like a sad, forgotten song, 'Cause there's a light I'm leavin' on, and it’s hers now to tend, Cause her good heart’s waitin' patiently, Just around the bend, She'll be here when the dust settles, She'll be here when skies are grey, And though it tears my heart in two, Bay… ay… bey, I know you'll be okay.
