I Miss You Already And I’m Not Even Gone

Oh, I miss you already
And I’m not even gone
The time has come I’m telling you goodbye
And I know you can’t stop me even if you try

I know how much you mean to me
You have been the best
But now I really have to go
I need to get some rest

The Sun the sand, Oh, it seems grand
Rock Salt and sand, snow and Ice
There is no way to I can stand
I have paid the price, Oh, it will be nice

But I miss you already and I’m not even gone

So hug me once
But please don’t cry
Cause I will blubber too
Yes, I miss you already
And I’m not even gone
