I can see
you' re slipping
away from me

And you' re so afraid
I' ll plead with you to stay
But I' m gonna be strong
and let you go your way

Our love is gone
There' s no sense
in holding on
' Cos your pity now

would be too much to bear
So I' m gonna be strong
and pretend I don' t care
I' m gonna be strong

and stand as tall as I can
Yes I' m gonna be strong
and let you run along
and take it like a man

When you say it' s the end
I' ll just hand you a line
I' ll smile and say
don' t worry, I' m fine

And you' ll never know
darling after you
kiss me goodbye
How I' ll break down and 

cry....._cry.....
