Bittersweet lyrics

Can't tell where the sky begins

And the water ends;

No clouds to hide the sun.

Waves playing me

A symphony upon the sand

As I lay drifting on the ocean

With this bottle in my hand...

Sat down on the boardwalk

For a little while:

Your memory, my company.

Something 'bout this place

Had a way to make you smile...

You always loved this island breeze.

The wind whistling 'cross my bottle

Still can't blow away the sorrow

That tomorrow you won't be here, with me.

So I raise it up and toast

The day we met and won't forget

The way you love me,

The amazing way you love me...

It's bittersweet, you see:

You're not here but I can feel you.

Every memory is on the tip of my tongue...

Close my eyes, see your face

Hold on tight to yesterday

Praying when I wake, it was just a dream.

It's bittersweet...

Doctor said there's nothing we can do

Took my hand, said "take me home"

To the only place with half a chance

To take the pain away...

"Make me feel alive before I go..."

You said: "life is only borrowed,

So let's wash away our sorrow

That tomorrow I won't be here, with you.

Go and live your life with no regrets

And don't forget how much I love you...

I love you..."

It's bittersweet, you see:

You're not here but I can feel you.

Every memory is on the tip of my tongue...

Close my eyes, see your face

Hold on tight to yesterday

Praying when I wake, it was just a dream.

It's bittersweet...

I brought you back just like you wanted

So you don't ever have to leave.

When I poured you 'cross the southern sky

I couldn't help but to cry:

I know you finally got your wings!

Bitter, bittersweet...

Bittersweet... Oh!

The wind whistling 'cross my bottle

Still can't blow away the sorrow

That tomorrow you won't be here, with me.

So I raise it up and toast

The day we met and won't forget

The way you love me,

The amazing way you love me...
