Don't Look Back

Don't look back when you head for the door
Because if you do it'll only hurt more
Don't stop to explain, don't tell me why
If you're going to leave just tell me goodbye

I love you, I'll miss you
It'll be different without you
I can't tie you down you need to fly free
And I can't make you be loyal to me

Seasons change as do we all
I can't help if you're headed for a fall
It hurts for us to go our separate ways
Hopefully soon we'll both see more than gray

So don't look back, I'll tell you again
Just lock the door if this is the end.

I'll Always Love You

As we stand together saying our goodbyes
The wind is blowing through my hair
Hiding the tears in my eyes
I want to hold you very tight
I don't want to get on that plane tonight...

"You're very special," I have to say again
As you touch my cheek anew you grin
"I love you," as tears slip from my eyes
I believe I always have and I hate goodbyes

You tell me that the pain will go away
If we keep ahold of our hearts and
Let the memories forever stay
I start to walk away head held down in pain
Then turn to run into your arms again

The wind rises and tears slip from my eyes
My hair shields my face
But cannot mute my cries
You say you have to go
I back away after one last hug,
Whisper goodbye to you...
