the day has come for packing boxes dusty pictures with familiar faces put them down better mow the lawn before the day is gone one more look down the street playback all my memories goodbye don t change a thing and i promise that i ll be back someday you know i ll miss you please don t fade away don t fade away oh clock just stop for a second i still see the kid inside the mirror i m all grown up moving on life feels short it used to feel longer the flying birds they remind me that sometimes we have to go oh we have to go goodbye don t change a thing and i promise that i ll be back someday you know i ll miss you please don t fade away don t fade away i gotta go leave here by three something s waiting for me goodbye don t change a thing and i promise that i ll be back someday you know i ll miss you please don t fade away don t fade away
