(to quote Neil Young...), and that time seems to've come for my 18 year old, who I helped move off to college last week.

(I'M GONNA MISS YOU) WHILE YOU'RE GONE
(c) 2012 - G. Smith (BMI)
-------------------------------------
Your truck's not in the driveway anymore;
And your fishing gear's not on the porch, leaning by the door.
But I know you'll be back before too long;
Still, I'm gonna miss you while you're gone.

There's one less place at the table every meal;
Even though that's the way it is, I don't like the way it feels.
Still I know you'll be back before too long;
And I'm gonna miss you while you're gone.

There's a fine line between letting go,
And holding on too tight;
It's hard to find and yet I know,
It'll all turn out alright...

The closet in your room is nearly empty;
Those bent and twisted hangers are hard for me to see;
And while I know you'll be back before too long;
Still, I'm gonna miss you while you're gone.

Yeah, I really miss you since you're gone.
