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
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 goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
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 till you're asleep to say goodbye
Please realize
How hard it is to do this
I'm trying to make it through this
Say goodbye 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 goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
Before your arms embrace me
Before your kisses take me
Before your eyes can make me stay
I'll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
Like I know we must
I'll wait till you're asleep
To say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
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 till your asleep to say goodbye
When you wake up
And find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you
Goodbye
And find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you
I just did what we knew I had to do
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 goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
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 till you're asleep to say goodbye
Please realize
How hard it is to do this
I'm trying to make it through this
Say goodbye 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 goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
Before your arms embrace me
Before your kisses take me
Before your eyes can make me stay
I'll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
