Just to say that you were leaving
 I'm sleepy but I thought that you said
 That our love that will last forever is endin'
 Well before you walk out of my life
 Would you be especially quiet

 And don't let my heart know that you're leavin'
 Don't you say another word about it darlin'
 Don't you let my heart hear your footsteps walkin' out
 The door of my hopes and dreams
 And don't you let my heart know that you're leavin'
 Don't you say another word about it darlin'
 Leave me now before my heart finds out

 Well, I see you writing something down
 And leavin' it on the dresser
 And the tears in your eyes look a lot like mine
 But I guess it's all for the better
 Well before we say our last goodbye
 Baby won't you hold me just one more time
 (repeat chorus
