It Hurts To Say Goodbye

Every time I leave you, 
It hurts more than I can say
When we say goodbye
Every time I fly away

Every time I leave you
The man I so adore 
The pain I feel goes deeper
And I cry a little more

Every day I wonder if
You ever will be free
Every day I wonder
Will you ever be with me

Every night I cry
Because of leaving you behind
Every tear that falls
The fear of doubt invades my mind

The tears I cry keep coming
Till I’m drowning in the flood
Every day my heart bleeds
But you just don’t see the blood

You're the closest thing to heaven
I will ever be
Please don’t make this love we have
Into a memory
 
While I'm here remember me
In every song you sing
While you’re there remember me
With all the love I bring

And I will keep believing
This love will find a way
Through every goodbye
Through every lonely day

One day they'll be no leaving,
No tears left to cry
Just you and me forever
No more goodbyes

And I will pray next time I fly
To you across the sky
I won’t leave there without you
I won’t have to say goodbye..
