I think this song also can simply be the happiness and sadness of youth fading and growing older. "like your daddy's best jeans
denim blue fading up to the sky
and though you want him to last
forever you know he never will
(you know he never will)
and the patches
make the goodbye harder still." along the way there are many goodbyes that are sad but they can't last forever, like the dreams of our youth. Patches to me mean we try to hold on, but inevitable they fade away. "and the goodbye
makes the journey harder sill." this could be the loss of loved ones, or children growing up and leaving home. This is a great song, good as a background for old home movie collections or photos showing pssage of time reflected in the children growing older. Thanks
