What's the story
behind the song?

Verse I
I couldn't stay any longer than I did that morning when I said goodbye
I knew too soon the skies would open up and welcome your eyes
You smiled at me
Convincingly
Promising me
That we would see each other soon.

Verse II
I choked back my fears and opened up the door to sorrow
I saw the road ahead a suitcase full of memories I borrowed
You came to me
Unexpectedly
Encouraging me
To take the road unknown

Chorus
If I could live each day as if tomorrow I'd known
I would be waiting there waving as you take the next mile home.

Verse III
I knew they were calling you though so far away for me to hear
But for you their distance was so close their voices were so clear
The hours passed
My resolved had crashed
The moment at last
Came for you to come on home.

Chorus
If I could live each day as if tomorrow I'd known
I would be waiting there waving as you take the next mile home.
