if i have to go away

here i am with my head in my hands

with a tear each day of the year

this is not

not at all what i planned

how to say what cannot be clear

i'm going away from you

if i have to go away

there'll be time enough to say

why i ruined a good thing

i'll never know

how i loved and lost the thing i wanted most

most

there you are

you're so near

yet so far

out of reach to one who can't speak

just the past makes me silent and more

makes my mind unable to think

i'm going away from you

if i have to go away

there'll be time enough to say

why i ruined a good thing

i'll never know

how i loved and lost the thing i wanted most

most

if i have to go away

there'll be time enough to say

why i ruined a good thing

i'll never know

how i loved and lost the thing i wanted most

if i have to go away

there'll be time enough to say

why i ruined a good thing
