Farewell

I’ll be gone in the morning
Before you open your eyes
I’ll see the dawn breaking 
‘Neath far away skies
But not quite as far as the distance I felt
When I tried hard to be close to you

I’m saving you the trouble
Of watching all your dreams fade
The sad recognition 
Of the mistake that you made
When you thought I was someone
Who could rescue your heart
‘Cause that’s something I just can’t do

God knows I’ve tried for you
Given my best
But I still left you wanting
I still failed the test
It was never a question
Of not enough love
But still there was something
I didn’t have enough of

So, I’ll be gone in the morning
And I’m wishing you well
The next one could be the real thing
You never can tell
You’ll be in my heart 
’Til the day that I die
So farewell, I love you
Goodbye

I love you, goodbye
