Lyrics
Late last night by candlelight
I kissed you soft and held you tight
And made believe that mornin' wouldn't come.
While you slept my quiet step walked away from you.
Sometimes leavin' is the lovin' thing to do
You'll be better off you'll see
When I am just a memory
A memory of yesterday grown cold
Time will heal the pain we feel
I do believe it's true.
Sometimes leavin' is the lovin' thing to do
By the time you read these lines, I'll be gone from you
Though I know it'll hurt you so, it's all I know to do
You will find somebody new
Someone who'll be there for you
In a way that I could never be
Until then I'll say again what I believe is true
Sometimes leavin' is the lovin' thing to do
