[Chorus]
Yeah to keep our love together baby
Oh baby how I tried
You know it wasn't it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
As a bird flying in the sky
Oh it hurt me it yes it hurt me
When I had to shake your hand and say good bye

[Verse 1]
Well you know if you had asked me
I would have climbed a mountain high
You know it all tied up and my foot slipping
You know my body might die
You know I was doin' the dumb things for you baby
But kiss you and say goodbye
I can't say it Johnny, I can't leave her
Oh to lose you baby
You know it hurt me awful bad
Oh you the best woman
Best little girl I ever had
Well you know for you to be leaving me this morning little girl
I'm going to always be lonely and sad

[Chorus]
Yeah to keep our love together
Oh baby how I tried
Well you know it wasn't easy, but was is easy
As the bird that flies in the sky
You know when I had to kiss and shake your hand little girl
And baby, and said goodbye
