Lyrics Cliff Richard

Cliff Richard

The Leaving

She came to me and stood there, not knowing how to start

The tear that shone upon her face almost broke my heart

You see I love her

She tried to speak, to say the things that still remain unsaid

The tears were flowing freely down her face, I had to turn my head

Because I love her

She wants to leave, I know she does,

But she can't find the words, I couldn't help her

How can I when I feel this way?

There's nothing in the world that I could say to help her

Her tiny hands were trembling, her suitcase by her side

She seemed to turn away to go, and through these tears I cried

I knew I love her

So ends another love song, but this one means much more

It's really quite ironical but I never thought before

To say I love her

Oh she wants to leave, I know she does

But she can't find the words, I couldn't help her

How can I when I feel this way?

There's nothing in the world that I could say to help her
