We always come full circle
When nights become too long
I call you when you're crying
And trying to be too strong
And trying to be too strong

But I can't take you with me
You never stand the pace
You tell me that you miss me
And long to see my face
And long to see my face

And who knows why
Who knows why
We always say goodbye
We always have to say goodbye

You tell me about hte family
About the folks back home
You tell me that you miss me
On long distance phone
Late at night on the phone
I tell you about the concerts
I tell you about the crowds
I tell you about the band played
A little bit too loud
Everything's too loud

And who knows why
Who knows why
We always say goodbye
We always have to say goodbye

Always come full circle
When nights become too long
You tell me how you miss me
And I tell you to be strong
I say keep on being strong
