It must have been years ago
When I first began to love you so
And as the years and memories go
By my feelings never die

So don't think it's wrong of me
To be sad that you're not free
And I can only make one final plea
To you to not say goodbye
I've loved you for so long
That it would be so wrong
For you to walk out of my life
It's too hard not to hold on
I know I should be strong
It must be true love is kissed by strife

If this must be goodbye
I can't promise I won't cry
And you probably won't glimpse my
Smile, I'll be down on my knees

I've loved you for so long
That it would be so wrong
For you to walk out of my life
It's too hard not to hold on
I know I should be strong
It must be true love is kissed by strife

I've loved you for so long
That it would be so wrong
For you to walk out of my life
It's too hard not to hold on
I know I should be strong
It must be true love is kissed by strife
