Leave Love Behind

The time's come now...I'm afraid.
No headin' back now.  I'm on my way.
My thoughts have lingered on your whispered word,
My eyes on your golden hair.
But I'll have to leave you behind.

The morning's here now.  I've come down.
Time to grow up with the dawn.
My mouth has lingered on your sweet lips,
My hands on your warming heart.
But I'll have to leave love behind.

What's ahead now?  How could I know.
I wish I could feel it before I go.

The night has fallen.  Emptiness.  
I'm awake now...it's all a dream.
My thoughts have lingered on the travelled past,
My heart, on that sad goodbye.
I'm here at last...where am I?
All I have left is the love left behind.
My thoughts have lingered on the travelled past,
But I'll have to leave it behind.
Yes, I'll have to leave love behind.
