The Beginning of a New Life
This is the first day
Of the beginning of my life,
This is the start
Of a long, hard strife.
Getting over you will
Surely be hard to do.
But I can't go on like this,
I have to live my life too.
I thought I knew you
Well enough to know,
The longer I stayed,
The more our love would grow.
But now I must leave you,
It's gonna be tough.
But if I stay longer,
I'm gonna get hurt.
I want you to know
I'll always be here,
To lend a shoulder or
To dry your tears.
I want you to be happy
And I hope you will find
Someone who is special,
Warm, loving, and kind.
Now I have to say good-bye,
I have to start out new.
But no matter where I go,
I'll always remember you.
Take Care.
I love you.
Good-bye.
