I Had To Leave
(I Will Always Love You _ from The Bodyguard movie)
It is this way
A journey each one must travel
Alone into darkness
And now I dwell only in your past memories.
But you... are strong, a survivor
You will be okay
Yes
You will go, on...
Oh-yes
I was not strong like you -
When our son died I became lost.
It broke me.
My spirit:
You know I was never the same man
But you... are a survivor
You... will be okay dear
You, will
I know you understand
That I could not go on any longer
That I had to end my awful pain
So I crashed by car into that lake
But you... are strong my darling
So strong my sweet darling
So strong my sweet darling
So strong my sweet darling
But you are so strong, my dear
Yes, you are so strong, my dear
You.
Will, survive, darling
Because you...
You have inner strength.
You
Do.
You do ....
(Instrumental to end)
