Leaving Love Behind

Although the years have changed now

and we go by different names

I remember the sound of our roof in the rain

And my mind goes back in time

to a place so far gone

Where the love we left behind us

Was still new

We were listening to the record

On the end of your bed

Not giving thought to where it was all going

And I wished right then and there so badly

I could read your mind

Just so I could know the things that you were knowing

I believe, yes I do

The hardest part is always leaving love behind

I believe, yes I do

That everything we lose

Will be a gift in time

But the hardest part is leaving love behind

When it was time to say goodbye

those words came down like stones

I admit for so long after

it was hard to feel at home

We would hear the highway’s song

shifting down in the night

I was grateful that the echoes broke the quiet

I believe, yes I do

The hardest part is always leaving love behind

I believe, yes I do

That everything we lose

Will be a gift in time

But the hardest part is leaving love behind

The sun fades on me now

And I miss you like words can’t know

And I missed my shot at dying young a long time ago

It’s just a lesson learned in love

It’s not angry it’s not sad

Some time you have to lose something

to know what you have

I believe, yes I do

The hardest part is always leaving love behind

I believe, yes I do

That everything we lose

Will be a gift in time

But the hardest part is leaving love behind
