lyrics

As I Must Leave You

I have seen
your soul before me
I’ve been trying
to waste away
hurt so bad
thought you knew me
knew that I had
nothing left to say

I have been
alone too long
I’ve got a reason
to sing this song:

these are the reasons I was given
I had nothing left to say
I hurt you - you came with me
these are the reasons we're still here today

come back tomorrow
please make me stay
you got something for me
please don’t take it away
hurt me so softly
you heard what I meant to say

these are the reasons I’m still here today

I tried to believe you
I tried to be kind
everything
is left behind
that’s what you said
when you changed your mind

I got three reasons
each one’s as good as the next
I list each one in order
I don’t expect that you’ll object

as I must leave you
please let me go
It’s not a choice
I made easily
but it’s the only choice I know

cause I must leave you
I must be gone
it’s taken four minutes
there’s one minute left
then I’ll be gone

I said I was sorry
I said I was wrong
but now I must leave you
now I’ll be gone

in the
early
morning light
early
morning light

let me go
let me go

as I must leave you
won't you let me go....
