I Let You Walk Away

I LET YOU WALK AWAY
(Neil Sedaka/Phil Cody)


I believe that nothin' lasts for ever,
Promises won't help us stay together,
Life for us was never hearts and flowers my friend.
It's sad to think we couldn't solve our problems,
Maybe it's because we tried so seldom.
So much will change today,
That I can only hope and pray,
As I watch you leave the room, that I'll see you very soon,
And it's all that I can do to keep from runnin' after you,
And though I wanted to,
I let you walk away.

It's just a simple case of heartbreak,
My hands begin to tremble, and my knees shake.
Somewhere along the line I hope we can make amends.
I believe that nothin' lasts for ever,
Promises won't help us stay together.
You may come home one day,
'Till then I only hope and pray,
As I watch you leave the room,
That I'll see you very soon,
And it's all that I can do to keep from runnin' after you,
Though I wanted to,
I let you walk away.

And as I watch you leave the room,
I hope I'll see you very soon,
And it's all that I can do to keep from runnin' after you,
And though I wanted to,
I let you walk away,
Let you walk away,
Let you walk away,
I let you walk away.
