You've been my life to me

My very soul and my heart

But lately something's come over you

And it's tearing me apart



Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me



Even though you say you love me

The feeling's no longer there

I know there's somebody else

And it's more than I can bear



Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me



Believe me, I would let you go if I could

But I don't know if it's worse being lonely

Than having you here in body only



It's no use pretending

When the love you used to feel is gone

Yet even though I'm losing you

I can't help trying to hold on



Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

I feel you growing away from me
