Off I Go

Off I go in the direction of career To lose you is my worst fear What will you do when I’m no longer near What will become of us my dear Nothing is promised but our feelings are clear Falling in love has not been easy for us Little by little we earned each others trust My heart is yours to keep I’ve given in; taken the leap It’s only you and your love I seek Just the thought of leaving makes me weep Remember our good times when you’re alone If you need me please pick up the phone Tell Mister Jay I say hey everyday That I miss him and can’t wait to play Don’t forget what you feel for me today I’ll only be a phone call away In my mind and in my heart you will stay I love you… is all that's left to say Lay
