(Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum) As I pack my bags and follow all my dreams I really hate to see you cry You know it hurts me too This is how it's got to be The time has come for me to fly You know you keep me hangin' on It's our love that makes me strong You're the world to me for eternity [CHORUS] So I'm looking back on yesterday And how we laughed until we cried And we feel it as we're all growing older It's so hard to say good-bye Once again it's hard to say good-bye As I stare into the hourglass of life I think of how I left you then When my life is over and all is said and done You can hear me sing this song again You know you keep me hangin' on It's our love that makes me strong You're the world to me for eternity [CHORUS]
