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
Chorus

I'll say
good bye
for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
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 till your 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 just wasn't 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
Chorus

Before your arms
embrace me
Before your kisses take me
Before your eyes can make me stay
Chorus

Like I know we must
I´ll wait till you're asleep
To say good-bye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
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 till your asleep
to say good-bye
When you wake up
And find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you
Good bye
