Country Song
You said you saw your heart's desire
in my eyes.
You said your love would flame like fire
in the skies.
You said the day would never dawn
when your words would not be true.
Now you say your love is gone
and that you'll be gone soon, too.
Well I'm sorry that you're leaving,
but my heart can stand the pain,
and I've had enough of grieving
so I think this time I'll take
care of me.
So goodbye. Leave it be.
I won't cry, and I sure don't
need you crying over me.
Think I'll go up to the mountains
for a while.
Walk through parks and drink from fountains,
change my style.
Think I'll think of other things,
dwell on future, not on past,
see what each new morning brings
and not try to make things last.
If tomorrow someone comes up
and asks me for a dance,
well I just might turn my thumbs up
and take another chance,
just for me.
So goodbye. Leave it be.
I won't cry, and I sure don't
need you crying over me.
