Can't tell where the sky begins And the water ends No clouds to hide the sun Waves playing me A symphony upon the sand As I lay drifting on the ocean With this bottle in my hand
Sat down on the boardwalk For a little while Your memory, my company Something 'bout this place Had a way to make you smile You always loved this island breeze
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle Still can't blow away the sorrow That tomorrow you won't be here with me So I raise it up and toast The day we met and won't forget The way you love me The amazing way you love me
It's bittersweet, you see You're not here but I can feel you Every memory is on the tip of my tongue Close my eyes, see your face Hold on tight to yesterday Praying when I wake, it was just a dream It's bittersweet
Doctor said there's nothing we can do Took my hand, said take me home To the only place with half a chance To take the pain away Make me feel alive before I go
You said life is only borrowed So let's wash away our sorrow That tomorrow I won't be here with you Go and live your life with no regrets And don't forget how much I love you I love you
It's bittersweet, you see You're not here but I can feel you Every memory is on the tip of my tongue Close my eyes, see your face Hold on tight to yesterday Praying when I wake, it was just a dream It's bittersweet
I brought you back just like you wanted So you don't ever have to leave When I poured you 'cross the southern sky I couldn't help but to cry I know you finally got your wings
Bitter, bittersweet Bittersweet, oh
The wind whistling 'cross my bottle Still can't blow away the sorrow That tomorrow you won't be here with me So raise it up and toast the day we met I won't forget the way you love me The amazing way you love me It's bittersweet
