I promise I'll try not to cry
I'll brush away the tears that just might keep you here
Though I love you so, somehow I know
That you were meant to go
You're finally getting your freedom now
There's nothing in your way
It's time to end all the good times that we've had
I've got to go
I promise I'll try not to cry
I'll brush away the tears that just might keep you here
Though I love you so, somehow I know
That you were meant to go
I'm sure you're gonna find someone else
That won't be hard for you
Now don't you fret about what becomes of me
Don't you know I've got to go
I promise I'll try not to cry
I'll brush away the tears that just might keep you here
Though I love you so, somehow I know
That you were meant to go
I was foolish to fall in love
You were just passing through
I guess there's not much more for us to say
Don't you know I've got to go
I've got to go
I promise I'll try not to cry
I'll brush away the tears that just might keep you here
I've got to go

though I love you so, somehow I know
That you were meant to go
I promise I'll try not to cry
I'll brush away the tears that just might keep you here



I'll brush away the tears that just might keep you here
Though I love you so, somehow I know
That you were meant to go
I promise I'll try not to cry


And I'll try not to cry
And I'll try not to cry
