Sorry That You’re Leavin’

Sorry that you're leavin'
But I guess you know what's best
Well, it's been a long, long time a-comin'
And I feel it's here at last
Sorry that we could not find
The words to fit the song
But we've been a long, long time a-hummin'
And I guess we've sung too long

I hear that road a-callin'
That I long to travel on
They say it's wide and open
It will never do you wrong
Time has come between us
And we cannot bridge the gap
The river's grown too wide now
We will never make it back

Sorry that you're leavin'
But I guess you know what's best
Well, it's been a long, long time a-comin'
And I feel it's here at last
Sorry that we could not find
The words to fit the song
But we've been a long, long time a-hummin'
And I guess we've sung too long

I hear that bluebird calling
Well, she knows that it's her time
Summer's almost gone now
In the winter she will fly
Where the weather's warmer
She will travel to the south
And you won't hear her singin'
When that winter snow comes down

Sorry that you're leavin'
But I guess you know what's best
Well, it's been a long, long time a-comin'
And I feel it's here at last
Sorry that we could not find
The words to fit the song
But we've been a long, long time a-hummin'
And I guess we've sung too long
