Phoenix In the Morning

I'll be in Phoenix in the morning
got a few friends there who understand
When she awakes she won't miss me
sure she'll call her new boyfriend

She's been crying in her sleep
but her tears are not for me
She fell for another
though I still love her I'll set her free

What good is it to hold someone
whose heart you can not share
Love comes and love goes
with love it isn't always fair

I'm sure when she awakens
she will see I am gone
She'll be so happy to call him
for with him she now belongs

I will still think of her
as I start over again
It will take awhile to forget her
with love you don't always win

She's been crying in her sleep
but her tears are not for me
She fell for another
though I still love her I'll set her free.
