Friends and family perform lyrical tributes for Katie Cheney as she leaves for college, weaving memories of raking blueberries, driving in rain, and stargazing. They promise she'll always have a place to come home to, mixing original lines with song fragments to celebrate their bond and her future.
You came to meet my family and we raked blueberries into buckets, and I drove reckless in the rain, and it wasn't the slightest bit romantic. I guess that's what makes it so. I can't say how much you mean to me. Up on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sea, I can't say how much you mean to me. Open my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speak. I can't say how much you mean to me.
Quickly.
I can hardly speak. I can't say. There's something in your eyes, a secret I must keep. I can't say how much you mean to me. I try to describe impossibility. I can't say.
You don't wanna miss your ticket out. Just because you graduate from school so high in the gene pool, that's your point of view. But when you're broken down and no one else is around, you'll come running back to this town. And I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there. 'Cause I remember how we drank time together. And I used to say that the stars are forever. And they dreamed about how to make your life better by leaving town. Leaving town. I can imagine smokes in your pocket. You wearing my locket around your neck. Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound. The world is your playground and you want to win. But when you're broken down and no one else is around, you'll come running back to this town. And I'll be there. Yeah, I'll be there. 'Cause I remember how we strayed down together. And I used to stare at the stars forever and day. Dreamed about how to make your life better by leaving town, leaving town. Nothing in life will ever come that easy. Doesn't mean it has to be that hard. I know you will find out who you are when you're broken down. And no one else is around. You'll come running back to this town. And I'll be there. Yeah, I'll be there. 'Cause I remember how we drank down together. And I used to say that the stars are forever. And daydreamed about how to make your life better. Bobby, baby. Leaving town, leaving town. Yeah, I remember how we'd trek down together and how you used to set the stars of forever and day. Dreamed about how to make your life better by leaving town, leaving town, my love. You're leaving town. Yeah.
It's been a long day without you, my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. We've come a long way from where we began. Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. When I see you again, come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry. You don't know how lovely you are. I had to find you, tell you I need you, tell you I set you apart. Nobody Nobody said it was easy. Oh, it's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard. So let the light guide your way. Yeah, hold every memory as you go, and every road you take will always lead you home. Oh, oh, oh, oh, won't you stay with me? Cuz you're all I need. The same Love, it's clear to see, but darling, stay with me. It's been a long day without you, my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. We've come a long way from where we began. Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. When I see you again. When I see you again.
I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by. And weep not for the memories. Remember all the good times that we had. I let them slip away from us when things got bad. How clearly I first saw you smiling in the sun. I wanna feel your warmth upon me. I wanna be the one. I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by. And weep not for the memory Don't let your life pass you by, and weep not for the memories. I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by and weep not for the memories. Don't let your life pass you by and weep not for the memories. Don't let your life pass you by, and weep not for the memories.
