My tears mix with the rain
When you leave, even the clouds cry
Quietly, come hold me close
Let our hearts say goodbye
It's time for you to leave
There's nothing we can do
And though you're still here in my arms
I'm already missing you ('cause)
It's hard
No matter how I try
Oh it's hard
To say goodbye
I won't forget the times we've had
I'll hold your memory tight
So though you'll be far away
We'll dance in my dreams at night
Wipe the tears now from your eyes
Kiss me once before you go
We can smile, just thinking of
The next time we'll say hello (but)
It's hard
No matter how I try
Oh it's hard
To say goodbye
My ears will wait to hear your voice
My eyes will wait for words you'll send
My heart will wait 'til you return
And we are one again ('cause)
It's hard
No matter how I try
Oh it's hard
To say goodbye
