My daughter has a best friend
Who's about to move away
And it kills me as a mother
To see her feel this kind of pain
This is her first great loss
But it won't be her last
I cannot make it stop
And so I say
I know you wish there was a way
To slow the hands of time
But when you truly love someone
You never say goodbye
'Cause they're woven in the fabric
Of the person you've become
It is impossible
Impossible to lose
The ones you love
My grandpa's name is Henry
And Audrey was his wife
After 50 years together
She was still the love of his whole life
Before her final breath
She reached and took his hand
He bowed to kiss her head
And heard her say
I know you wish there was a way
To slow the hands of time
But when you truly love someone
You never say goodbye
'Cause they're woven in the fabric
Of the person you've become
It is impossible
Impossible to lose
The ones you love
I know the winds of change will blow again
I feel it in my heart, I know it in my head
And though I can't avoid the road that lies ahead
I choose these words instead
Even though there's not a way
To slow the hands of time
When you truly love someone
You never say goodbye
'Cause they're woven in the fabric
Of the person you've become
It is impossible
Impossible to lose
It is impossible
Impossible to lose
The ones you love
The ones you love
