Sorry That You're Leavin' - Gail Davies

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
