I know that it'll make you cry

To find that I have gone, didn't even say goodbye

You'll hate me for awhile because I promised love 

And left you just grievin'

I know that I could never be 

the kind of man that you have in your mind of me

For your sake we must part 

It'll 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 

To just one way of life, one woman and one town

So sad to part this way

But you'll be glad someday 

For you're young and you'll forget
