I've been away a year and a day

You recognize love after the fact

You did what you did and that was that



Don't say words that you don't mean

When I'm gone, please speak well of me



Looking back now

I only wish I had been kinder

Did I ever know love, did I ever know love?

And could I have been blinder?



Don't hold back all your love for someday, for someday



I would say that I'm sorry if it would do any good

But to never regret means you have to forget

and I don't think that I could
