[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

[Verse 2]

And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile

What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride
[Instrumental Break 01:41-02:10]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Interlude]
Goodbye

[Instrumental Break 02:16-05:33]
[Keyboard Solo]
[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]
[Keyboard Solo]
[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
[Instrumental Outro]
