Thank you my friend   I sincerely appreciate the words you say   About how she'll cry   And how she'll grieve and miss me   When she goes away      Say them again   I need to hear the words once more   I can't believe   How she'll miss me when she's gone   And how she'll want to come back home   And never leave      But she's leaving me   Because she really wants to   And she'll be happy when she's gone   She'll be happy   She'll be so very happy   She'll dance and sing   Or even learn to fly   And spend her time with anyone but me      What's that you say   That I'll get over her the more that time goes by   But time goes so slow   When all I have to do is sit around and cry      No she won't be back   I'd be a fool to try to fool myself that way   I know she hasn't one regret   Because she hasn't had one since   The day she came to stay      She's leaving me   Because she really wants to   And she'll be happy when she's gone   She'll be happy   She'll be so very happy   She'll dance and sing   And even learn to fly   And spend her time with anyone but me      She'll be happy when she's gone   She'll be happy when she's gone   She'll be happy when she's gone   She'll be happy when she's gone
