Thank you my friend
|
I sincerely appreciate the words you say
|
About how she'll cry
|
And how she'll grieve and miss me
|
When she goes away
|
|
Say them again
|
I need to hear the words once more
|
I can't believe
|
How she'll miss me when she's gone
|
And how she'll want to come back home
|
And never leave
|
|
But she's leaving me
|
Because she really wants to
|
And she'll be happy when she's gone
|
She'll be happy
|
She'll be so very happy
|
She'll dance and sing
|
Or even learn to fly
|
And spend her time with anyone but me
|
|
What's that you say
|
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by
|
But time goes so slow
|
When all I have to do is sit around and cry
|
|
No she won't be back
|
I'd be a fool to try to fool myself that way
|
I know she hasn't one regret
|
Because she hasn't had one since
|
The day she came to stay
|
|
She's leaving me
|
Because she really wants to
|
And she'll be happy when she's gone
|
She'll be happy
|
She'll be so very happy
|
She'll dance and sing
|
And even learn to fly
|
And spend her time with anyone but me
|
|
She'll be happy when she's gone
|
She'll be happy when she's gone
|
She'll be happy when she's gone
|
She'll be happy when she's gone
|

She's Leaving Me Because She Really Wants To
