I just couldn't cry
No matter how hard I try
I knew the love we shared was dead
Until she gave me a letter
With some words she wrote down
And I swear this is what she said
She said

She said
Love of my life our first night together
We sat in the rain and we talked forever
Love of my life your carefree way
Showed me the potential of each and every day

But love of my life
When you told me today
That my place was gone
From your carefree way
I realized
She said

She said
Love of my life now I finally see
A carefree way wasn't meant for me
The pain I feel you just can't understand
You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand
But love of my life
When you told me today
That my place was gone from your carefree way
I realized

You know she realized she must learn
For once on her own
Not to let her days burn
Because she's alone
She needed to learn
For once on her own
Not to let her days burn
Because she's alone

She needed to learn
For once on her own
Not to let her days burn
Because she's alone

She said

She said
Love of my life your arms were never shy
To hold me tight when I needed to cry
Love of my life you made me believe
For that I love you but I know I must leave
Because love of my life
When you told me today
That my, my place was gone from your carefree way
I realized

Oh yes, she realized, and for once so did I
Because it occurred to me the love of my life was she
And then and only then I started to cry
