So Long - Daniel Lavoie

With a mighty roar it lifts off the tarmac and leaves a world behind

She never thought he’d go, but now he’s gone

And she tries to remember his face his hands, kisses in the rain

But the pictures fading fast and whoops it’s gone

So long so long so long

Well they cleaned their guns and they went off to fight

And that’s how the West was won

Setting fire to tepees in the sun

If you’re ready to die for what you believe you can believe most anything

But I’d rather face the future than a gun

So long so long

Well he’s lying in a foxhole with her picture on his heart

Dreaming of making love in the morning sun

A house on a hill, two lovely kids, he didn’t hear the bullet come

It clipped him from world and now he’s gone
