saying goodbye

it's not easy
saying goodbye
you know why
although
it was over years ago
it's not easy
letting go

you were
a part of my life
for so long
you were my wife
but now that's gone

and though i thought
there could never be
any other
you've moved on
you've found another

someone
who seems to love you too
someone
who seems to love you true
that makes me feel
a little blue
but all i want
is love and happiness
for you

so it's time ta' let go
i know
it's time ta' show
i love you true
this much i can do

this time there is no lie
i may sigh
i may cry
but now
it's time
ta' say goodbye
