Goodbye, my love
To our years
as man and wife
I will be
lonely without you
But somehow
I will survive.
Goodbye, my love
To the
raising of our boys
Their early
memories I give to you
Full of laughter,
happiness and joy.
Goodbye, my love
To the home which we
once shared
Now there
are only memories
Of a time
when we both cared.
Goodbye, my
love
To your not
being faithful and true
No longer will I wonder
Where you
are or what you do.
Goodbye, my love
To your ever strength to
lean on
It won't be
easy for me
But somehow I'll face
the dawn.
You were my
entire world.
You were the only love
for me.
Now I must
go on alone
With my
strength and dignity.
I placed you
above all others.
How could
you treat me this way?
Life has become more
than I can bear.
There is
nothing more to say.
With the
grace of a woman
I will build
my life on today,
For I have
no future tomorrows
But I know I
will find my way.
I held on
for many years
Until there
was nothing to hold.
For I cannot
have what is not mine
So you're
free to go on alone.
