Emerson - Lake)



I've tried to mend

The love that ended

Long ago although we still pretend

Our love is surely coming to an end

Don't waste the time you've got to love again



We tried to lie

But you and I

Know better than to let each other lie

The thought of lying to you makes me cry

Counting up the time that's passed us by



I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand

And if it does I hope that you will understand



That I must leave in a while

And though I smile

You know the smile is only there to hide

What I'm really feeling deep inside

Just a face where I can hang my pride



Goodbye...

Goodbye...



We'll talk of places that we went

And times that we have spent

Together penniless and free



You'll see the day another way

And they could put the sunshine

for a nighttime where you lay



You're love began I don't know when

But if you do I know that

you'll be happy in the end
