The official music video for Zac Brown Band’s ballad “Leaving Love Behind” stars some very adorable animals and prompts fans to donate to Best Friends Animal Society’s Disaster Relief Fund to help animals recently displaced by the devastating Hurricane Dorian. The song is featured on the group’s new album The Owl, which will be released on September 20th.
“Whether it’s funny things they do or the fact that they comfort us when we need them, we wanted to highlight how pets can make us smile even when we think we can’t,” Zac Brown shares in a statement. “Especially in the wake of Hurricane Dorian, thousands of pets are without homes. We hope you’ll help by donating to Best Friends Animal Society who is doing incredible work taking care of the animals that need love too.”

“Leaving Love Behind” Lyrics
Although the years have changed now, and we go by different names
I remember the sound of our roof in the rain
And my mind goes back in time to a place so far gone
Where the love we left behind us was still new
We were listening to the record on the end of your bed
Not giving thought to where it was all going
And I wished right then and there so badly I could read your mind
Just so I could know the things that you were knowin’
I believe, yes I do
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
I believe, yes I do
That everything we lose will be a gift in time
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
When it was time to say goodbye, those words came down like stones
I admit, for so long after, it was hard to feel at home
We would hear the highway’s song shiftin’ down in the night
I was grateful that the echoes broke the quiet
I believe, yes I do
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
I believe, yes I do
That everything we lose will be a gift in time
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
The sun fades on me now and I miss you like words can’t know
And I missed my shot at dying young a long time ago
It’s just a lesson learned in love, it’s not angry it’s not sad
Some time you have to lose somethin’ to know what you have
I believe (I believe), yes I do
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
I believe (I believe), yes I do
Oh, that everything we lose will be a gift in time
(I believe) I believe, (yes I do)
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
