Going Away

There are people waiting

and they are waiting all of their lives

for a chance

and they are watching

and hoping

they are praying just this one time

for just one dance

and if lovin somebody is all that it takes

that's such a small price to pay

it's something we need to do for our own sake

it's something we don't throw away

by going away

by going away

I see children playing

and they are having the time of their lives

in the sand

they don't know it

but I won't tell them

we are only here for a while to do what we can

and if loving somebody is all that it takes

that's seems like a small price to pay

it's something we need to do for our own sake

it's something we don't throw away

by going away

by going away

and I won't go away

I won't go away

oh, I won't go away

I won't go away

I won't go away
