Blues Traveler Love of My Life Lyrics

I just couldn't cry, no matter how hard I tried
I knew the love we shared was dead
Until she gave me a letter
With some words she wrote down
And I swear this is what she said

She said: "Love of my life, our first night together,
We sat in the rain and talked forever
Love of my life, your carefree way
Showed me the potential of each and every day,
But love of my life, when you told me today
That my place was gone in your carefree way
I realized..."

She said: "Love of my life, now I finally see
A carefree way wasn't meant for me
The pain I feel, you just can't understand
You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand
But love of my life, when you told me today
That my place was gone in your carefree way,
I realized..."

You know she realized she must learn for
Once on her own not to let her days burn because she's alone
She needed to learn for once on her own
Not to let her days burn because she's alone
She needed to learn for once on her own
not to let her days burn because she's alone

She said: "Love of my life, your arms were never shy
To hold me tight when I needed to cry
Love of my life, you made me believe
And for that I do love you, but I know I must leave
Because love of my life, when you told me today
That my place was gone in your carefree way
I realized..."

Oh yes, she realized, and for once, so did I
Because it occurred to me the love of my life was she
And then, and only then, I started to cry
