I said I wouldn't cry
|
The day you say goodbye
|
It's not like I'll never see you again
|
I guess the things you need
|
You just can't get from me
|
But you still can reach out to me now and then
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
My head is spinning round
|
All my defenses down
|
I have held the world in my hands
|
But I can't keep you from slipping away,
|
|
If time will show me grace
|
And you to a better place
|
Then I can live knowing it wasn't in vain
|
It hurts so much to know when love means letting go
|
And no one can tell me that they've felt my pain
|
|
No strength can stop you now
|
Will someone show me how
|
How to live it over again
|
'cause I can't keep you from slipping away
|
|
I will never break your power over me
|
I could never shake the thought of you burning in my mind
|
You're all I see
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Oh, I can't keep you from slipping away
|
Oh, Slipping away
|
|

Slipping Away
