(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)

 

Yeah, I will love you for a while

Just how long I cannot say

Long before love grows old 

I'll be on my way

 

While there's fire in your eyes

I will hold you to my heart

Oh, but when the fire dies

We will have to part

 

Love is strange

While now it makes us glad

When our love's no longer new

It'll make us sad, yeah

 

So, I will love you for a while

More than that I will not tell

When I leave you 

You will say that I loved too well

 

Yeah, love is strange

While now it makes us glad

When our love's no longer new

It'll make us sad, yeah

 

So, I will love you for a while

More than that I will not tell

And when I leave you 

You will say that I loved too well

Say that I loved too well, boy

Say that I loved too well, yeah

Say that I loved too well-ell

Say that I loved too well, child

Say that I loved too well
