I just couldn't cry
No matter how hard I try
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...


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
