The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know that it will make you cry
To find that I have gone
Didn't even say goodbye
Ya hate me for a while
Because I promised love
And left you just for bread
But I know that I could never be
The kind of a man that you
Have in your mind of me
For your sake we must part
And it will break your heart
But you're young and you'll forget
You're young, and I know time will help you find
The perfect man to really love you
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you
For I could never settle down
Just one way of life
One woman and one time
So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad one day
'Cause you're young and you'll forget
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you
For I could never settle down
To just one way of life
One woman and one time
So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad one day
'Cause you're young and you'll forget
