Lyrics
The flowers are blooming the sun is shining
Everywhere I look people are crying
Soldiers come home but some are still gone
There's no good day to say so long
Chorus:
How do you say good bye to a hero
It's the hardest thing anyone can do
Now I know why they all look so blue
Cause every breath I take is a memory of you
Sam called you to fight another land's war
You asked me if you were worth fighting for
The letters I write tell you my love is true
Waiting for your return is all I can do
Repeat Chorus X 1
Bridge:
And now your home your finally here
I still need you and I hope you hear
Everytime I pray everytime I cry
I'm still waiting I can't say goodbye
Repeat Chorus X 1
Every breath I take is a memory of you
