Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song with the soldiers being deployed in mind. I was thinking about how they would be feeling and what they hoped to return to. This song is for anyone who has to leave, but looks forward to returning back to the place and the people they love.

Lyrics
Planes are landing
Crowds are standing still
Tears are fallin'
And I'm here with you
A trail of memories
Is circling through my mind
Days pass so fast
Time can be unkind
It's bittersweet to hold you tight
It's more of you that gets left behind
'Cause I'm leavin'
Hope I made the most of this time
Turned all of my wrongs into rights
Before I go
And I'm leavin'
It's so hard to say goodbye
I know I'll cry but look forward to the next time
I see your smile
Somehow I'm walkin'
My footsteps lead the way
I can't turn back now
For I know I'd stay
How quickly life can change your plans
But we'll survive through any circumstance
'Cause I'm leavin'
Hope I made the most of this time
Turned all of my wrongs into rights
Before I go
And I'm leavin'
It's so hard to say goodbye
I know I'll cry but look forward to the next time
I see your smile
I'm leavin'
Hope I made the most of this time
Turned all of my wrongs into rights
Before I go
And I'm leavin'
It's so hard to say goodbye
I know I'll cry but look forward to the next time
I see your smile
