Crushed heart that no longer beams
Gives rise to many saddened dreams
 Laid to rest is my hope in you
And good-byes have made me suddenly blue.

In having to set you free
I have lost the best in me.
However alone I am now,
I will overcome, somehow.
 

My love for you I did not know,
Until I had to let you go.
The tears came and washed away,
All the good-byes I had to say.

So now my friend I have set you free,
And have lost the best in me.
And in time you’ll be just a dream,
That made my heart always gleam.
