Lyrics: S. Samaroo and John Popper



I just couldn't cry

No matter how hard I try

I knew the love we shared was dead

Until she gave me a letter

With some words she wrote down

And I swear this is what she said

She said...



Love of my life our first night together

We sat in the rain and talked forever

Love of my life your carefree way

Showed me the potential of each and

every day



But love of my life

When you told me today

That my place was gone

In your carefree way

I realized...



She said...



She said love of my life now I finally see

A carefree way wasn't meant for me

The pain I feel you just can't understand

You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand



But love of my life

When you told me today

That my place was gone in your carefree 

way

I realized...



You know she realized she must learn for

once on her own not to let her days burn

Because she's alone

She needed to learn for once on her own

not to let her days burn

Because she's alone

She needed to learn for once on her own

not to let her days burn

Because she's alone

She said...



Love of my life your arms were never shy

To hold me tight when I needed to cry

Love of my life you made me believe

And for that I do love you but I know I

must leave



Because love of my life

When you told me today

That my place was gone

In your carefree way

I realized...



Oh yes she realized, and for once so did I

Because it occurred to me the love of my

life was she

And then and only then I started to cry
