It is because I love you
that I must let you go

It is because I love you
your life must be your own

It is because I love you
I must face an empty life

It is because I love you
your arms no longer  mine

Your heart may turn away
your love whither and gray

Only our memories will stay
for we did have many a nice day

Sweet kisses as always
but now good-bye my love.
