Hardest Part (Bluegrass Version)

Down by the water Where the auburn leaves were shining Holding hands with my father And I swear I saw him crying 'Cause it's been so long And the day's soon gone And the hardest part of going home Is facing that you're getting older And everything you've ever known Is over And all the paths are overgrown The sun is down, it's getting colder And everything you've ever known Is over In your eyes, I see the fire That so long ago was burning Through our smiles, we tried to hide it All the years that we've been hurting We don't get too long That's why I'm holding on And the hardest part of going home Is facing that you're getting older And everything you've ever known Is over, hmm And all the paths are overgrown The sun is down, it's getting colder And everything you've ever known Is over, is over Yeah, the hardest part of going home Is facing that you're getting older And everything you've ever known Is over, is over And all the paths are overgrown The sun is down, it's getting colder And everything you've ever known Is over, is over, is over
