Leaving You

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

I can’t go on like this anymore

Restless when I am at your side

So I’m leaving home for a distant shore

Or whatever I may find

Ten years ahead lies the picket fence

Three kids and all of my happiness

But I can’t pretend in the present tense

Hope you'll understand, love?

I am leaving you anyway

So why don’t you smile?

I will come back for you someday

So miss me for a while

My dreams are teaming with emerald hills

I’m wrapped in sheets of kelly green

So I gaze and lean into windowsills

Where my truth might yet be seen

You know that I’m not a selfish guy

This is the best for both of us

But you’re still so beautiful in my eyes

Hope you'll wait for me, love?

I am leaving you anyway

(I am stronger so I)

So why don’t you smile

(So I am letting you go)

I will come back for you someday

(Someday might never arrive)

So miss me for a while

I am leaving you anyway

(I am stronger so I)

So why don’t you smile

(So I am letting you go)

I will come back for you someday

(Someday might never arrive)

So miss me for a while

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

I am leaving you anyway

So why don’t you smile?

(So I am letting you go)

I will come back for you someday

(Someday might never arrive)

So miss me for a while

I am leaving you anyway

(I am stronger so I)

So why don’t you smile

(So I am letting you go)

I will come back for you someday

(Someday might never arrive)

So miss me for a while

I am leaving you anyway
