It's been a long time
since I've seen you smile
and I can't remember last
when we could be happy
without a care in the world
our days became numbered
and although I know
you must leave
I'll still stay until it's over
and this road ahead
it only gets harder
because when that day comes
I won't be ready
I don't want you to leave
cause my heart
yes my heart
only beats for you
and you my love
yes my love
will live on forever because
it's true what they say
that it's better to fall
from falling in love
then not to love at all
and I'll stay here until you must go
because it's been worth all this pain
just to know you...
I'm trying to keep
yes I'm trying to keep smiling
it's just so hard
when Is see you crying
I've seen you live I've seen you laugh
and now you will be taken
and even though I know
you must leave
still my heart is breaking
and this road ahead
it only gets harder
because when that day comes
I won't be ready
I don't want you to leave
cause my heart
yes my heart
only beats for you
and you my love
yes my love
will live on forever because
it's true what they say
that it's better to fall
from falling in love
then not to love at all
and I'll stay here until you must go
because it's been worth all this pain
just to know you...
and you push me away
so I don't see you
falling apart
but it's here
that I'll stay
even though it's killing me
it's breaking my heart
I'd do anything anything
just to have you stay with me
isn't that what love is?
being with you
after knowing...
and this road ahead
it only gets harder
because when that day comes
I won't be ready
I don't want you to leave
cause my heart
yes my heart
only beats for you
and you my love
yes my love
will live on forever because
it's true what they say
that it's better to fall
from falling in love
then not to love at all
and I'll stay here until you must go
because it's been worth all this pain
just to know you...
my love.
