I just couldn't cry
  No matter how hard I try
  I knew the love we shared was dead
  Until she gave me a letter
  With some words she wrote down
  And I swear this is what she said
  She said...
    Love of my life our first night together
  We sat in the rain and talked forever
  Love of my life your carefree way
  Showed me the potential of each and
  every day
    But love of my life
  When you told me today
  That my place was gone
  In your carefree way
  I realized...
    She said...
    She said love of my life now I finally see
  A carefree way wasn't meant for me
  The pain I feel you just can't understand
  You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand
    But love of my life
  When you told me today
  That my place was gone in your carefree
  way
  I realized...
    You know she realized she must learn for
  once on her own not to let her days burn
  Because she's alone
  She needed to learn for once on her own
  not to let her days burn
  Because she's alone
  She needed to learn for once on her own
  not to let her days burn
  Because she's alone
  She said...
    Love of my life your arms were never shy
  To hold me tight when I needed to cry
  Love of my life you made me believe
  And for that I do love you but I know I
  must leave
    Because love of my life
  When you told me today
  That my place was gone
  In your carefree way
  I realized...
    Oh yes she realized, and for once so did I
  Because it occurred to me the love of my
  life was she
  And then and only then I started to cry
