When you wake up

And find me gone tomorrow,

Don't think I meant to hurt you

I just did what we knew I had to do



Oh, and all the time we knew

The time was never right for us,

Time to leave this love behind

I could never leave you,

Baby, if I see you cry



I'll say good-bye for the two of us

Tonight while you're asleep

I'll kiss you softly one last time

And say good-bye like I know we must

There's just no other way

And I couldn't bear to see your heart break

So, I'll wait 'til you're asleep to say good-bye



Please realize

How hard it is to do this

I'm trying to make it through this,

Say good-bye just as gently as I can



Please try and understand

This time's just not the time for us

We knew I couldn't stay

But that don't make it easier to leave you

So while I can find the strength



I'll say good-bye for the two of us

Tonight while you're asleep

I'll kiss you softly one last time

And say good-bye



Before your arms embrace me,

Before your kisses take me,

Before your eyes can make me stay



I'll say good-bye for the two of us

Tonight while you're asleep

I'll kiss you softly one last time

And say good-bye like I know we must



I'll wait 'til you're asleep

To say good-bye for the two of us

Tonight while you're asleep

I'll kiss you softly one last time

And say good-bye like I know we must

There's just no other way

And I couldn't bear to see your heart break

So, I'll wait 'til you're asleep to say good-bye



When you wake up

And find me gone tomorrow,

Don't think I meant to hurt you



Go
