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
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
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
