Purple heather, autumn days
Summers gone, seasons change
It always hit me far too slow
That you are all I want from life
Your auburn hair and greenest eyes
Oh, I am gonna miss you when you go
Endless days and wayward nights
Broken lamps and candle lights
Never knew that love could take me so low
And gazing at these northern skies
I finally start to realise
Oh, I am gonna miss you when you go
Did we ever say we'd stay together
Did we write our names upon the stars
I want you to stay with me can't let you disappear
When we have travelled oh so far
So take my hand and come with me
Down the harbour, 'long the sea
Wherever we are going we can go there slow
But I still see it in your eyes
I know it comes as know surprise
That I am gonna miss you when you go
Baby I am gonna miss you when you go
Oh honey, I am gonna miss you when you go
