Winston, it's time for me to go
But don't cry, I'll be back someday I know
Winston, don't say goodbye to me
In the blink of an eye I'll be back here, wait and see
Walking beneath the old magnolia lines
She grabs my hand and looks me in the eye
She says, "You're so much stronger now
Than when I met you all those years ago,"
Oh, Winston, you're getting on just fine
Winston, you're more than I bargained for
These last few weeks have worn me to the bone
But when summertime is over, I'll be back here just to show you
That you're the only place I call my home
I said I'm going to Winston-Salem in my mind
Singing along to an old James Taylor line
The Chapel's there to greet you, magnolias will meet you
And Winston, you're getting on just fine
Winston, I've got places I've gotta be
But when the time has come, you know I'll miss you dearly
The memories will be here, the love will never disappear
And Winston, you'll age gracefully
I said I'm going to Winston-Salem in my mind
Singing along to an old James Taylor line
The Chapel's there to greet you, magnolias will meet you
And Winston, you're getting on just fine
I said I'm going to Winston-Salem in my mind
Singing along to an old James Taylor line
The Chapel's there to greet you, magnolias will meet you
And Winston, you're getting on just fine
Oh Winston, you're getting on just fine
I said Winston, you're getting on just fine
