When you wake up
And find me gone tomorrow
Dont think i meant to hurt you
I just did what we knew i had to
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 saw you cry
Chorus
Ill say good bye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
Ill kiss you softly one last time
And say good-bye
Like i know we must
Theres just no other way
And i couldnt 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
Im trying to make it through this
Say good-bye just as gently as i can
Please try and understand
This time just wasnt the time for us
We knew i couldnt stay
But that dont 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
