[Instrumental Intro 00:00-00:31]

[Verse 1]
I've tried to mend
The love that ended
Long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don't waste the time you've got to love again

[Verse 2]
We tried to lie
But you and I
Know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that's passed us by

[Bridge]
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride

[Instrumental Break 01:41-02:10]
[Interlude]
Goodbye
Goodbye

[Instrumental Break 02:16-05:33]

[Verse 3]
We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent together penniless and free

[Verse 4]
You'll see the day another way
And wake up with the sunshine pouring right down where you lay

[Instrumental Break 05:58-07:55]

[Verse 5]
You'll love again, I don't know when
But if you do I know that you'll be happy in the end
