Yes I understand that I'm to set you free

Yes I understand you love her more than me

I understand she won your heart

Stoled your, love drew us apart

I understand

And so I'll let you go



I tried my best to do the things

I thought would please you dear

I never dreamed the time would come

When you would not be here



Yes I understand what I'm supposed to do

Find me someone else to take the place of you

And if I live a hundred years

I'll find some way to hide these tears

I understand

And so I'll let you go



I tried my best to do the things

I thought would please you dear

I never dreamed the time would come

When you would not be here



Yes I understand what I'm supposed to do

Find me someone else to take the place of you

And if I live a hundred years

I'll find some way to hide these tears

I understand

And so I'll let you go
