I can see you standing in the pouring rain
Waiting for changes to carry you away
I can see the light fall from your eyes
As we get lost in the tears of this goodbye

But you can't go farther
Than my heart can go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Through the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

I can hear you laugh
When I close my eyes
I can picture your face
And the strength inside your smile
I can see the words
Dance across your lips
I'll remember forever
Something more than this

And you can't go farther
Than my heart can will go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Through the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

So you can't go farther
Than my heart will go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Through the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me
That has taken you
From me



Behind the Song:
“When I met Jeremy he was dating someone else. When he told her about me, she was extremely understanding. In fact, she said to him, not even a couple months later, ‘That’s your wife. I’m really happy for you,’ even though she still had these huge feelings for him. Nine months after we started dating, she drowned while swimming in a river. She was just 19 or 20 years old. I have enormous respect for her, for so many reasons. There was so much about her that was virtuous; she lived a life of high morals and character. My husband was coming out of a wild, kind of rebellious period, and in order to go out with her you couldn’t be the kind of guy he had been. So he got his act together and they dated for almost three months, until he met me. Had he not met her before me, I probably wouldn’t have looked twice at him, so I was thankful to her for being the influence she was. She was very adamant that life is not just what we see right now, and that represents a lot of what means so much to me in my marriage as a woman. Not many people write songs about their husband’s ex-girlfriends, but Jeremy and I still hold her safe inside. It’s all in that song, which is not so much ‘goodbye’ as ‘see you later’…” – Tiffany Arbuckle Lee (Plumb)
