[Verse 1]
When you wake up and find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you
I just did what we knew I had to do
And all the time we knew
The time was never right for us
Time to leave this love behind
I could never leave you, baby, if I see you cry
[Chorus]
I'll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep, I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye like I know we must
There's just no other way
And I couldn't bear to see your heartbreak
So I'll wait till you're asleep to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Please realize how hard it is to do this
Girl, I'm trying to make it through this
Say goodbye just as gently as I can
I'm gonna make you understand
'Cause this time's just not the time for us
We knew I couldn't really stay
But that don't make it easier to leave you
So while I can find the strength
[Chorus]
I'll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep, I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye
[Bridge]
Before your arms embrace me
Before your kisses take me
Before your eyes can make me stay
[Chorus]
I'll say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep, I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye like I know we must
I'll wait till you're asleep
To say goodbye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep, I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say goodbye like I know we must
There's just no other way
And I couldn't bear to see your heartbreak
So I'll wait till you're asleep to say goodbye
[Outro]
When you wake up and find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you, goodbye
