I just couldn't cry   No matter how hard I try   I knew the love we shared was dead   Until she gave me a letter   With some words she wrote down   And I swear this is what she said   She said...      Love of my life our first night together   We sat in the rain and talked forever   Love of my life your carefree way   Showed me the potential of each and   every day      But love of my life   When you told me today   That my place was gone   In your carefree way   I realized...      She said...      She said love of my life now I finally see   A carefree way wasn't meant for me   The pain I feel you just can't understand   You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand      But love of my life   When you told me today   That my place was gone in your carefree   way   I realized...      You know she realized she must learn for   once on her own not to let her days burn   Because she's alone   She needed to learn for once on her own   not to let her days burn   Because she's alone   She needed to learn for once on her own   not to let her days burn   Because she's alone   She said...      Love of my life your arms were never shy   To hold me tight when I needed to cry   Love of my life you made me believe   And for that I do love you but I know I   must leave      Because love of my life   When you told me today   That my place was gone   In your carefree way   I realized...      Oh yes she realized, and for once so did I   Because it occurred to me the love of my   life was she   And then and only then I started to cry
