Music and words by Paul Nahay.

Melissa is leaving home
She's flying a long, long way
She's hoping to find something she left behind
But what, she doesn't know


She gave me our favorite song
So I'll remember her when she's gone
It's the one that we heard when we spoke our first words
And helped us keep goin' on


Yes, she's leaving to fly
'Cross this country so wide
Well, she's going away, and nothing I say
Can keep her right here by my side.


I offered to talk it out
Tried to learn what her pain's about
But she kept to herself, didn't ask for my help
And left me with so much doubt.


We've conquered so many fears
In this marriage of seven years
It sure looked like to me like we'd made it home free
Now nothing's the way it appeared.


Yes, she's leaving to fly
'Cross this country so wide
Well, she's going away, and nothing I say
Can keep her right here by my side.


Her bags sit by the gate
And the taxi driver waits
He's honkin' his horn as his patience gets worn
So we know it's getting late


I offer a final kiss
So she'll know how much she'll be missed
With tears in our eyes we say our goodbyes
And pray we'll get over this.


Yes, she's leaving to fly
'Cross this country so wide
Well, she's going away, and nothing I say
Can keep her right here by my side.


Now the time's come to party
So she can make a new start
Well, she's going away, and nothing I say
Can keep her from breaking my heart.
