I didn’t want to leave you, but I didn’t have a choice. I’m sorry that I hurt you. I know it seemed I didn’t care, But when I died I mourned for you, the way you mourned for me. And now I’m here, not far or near, but just around the corner on the path that goes one way. I dream sometimes that I’ve gone back To have another year with you, or maybe just another day, With time to say I love you and time to say goodbye. But that’s a dream, I can’t go back, And all that I can promise is my love will keep me waiting here Until you turn that corner and I see you once again.

I Didn’t Want to Leave You
I didn’t want to leave you, but I didn’t have a choice. I’m sorry that I hurt you. I know it seemed I didn’t care, But when I died I mourned for you, the way you mourned for me. And now I’m here, not far or near, but just around the corner on the path that goes one way. I dream sometimes that I’ve gone back To have another year with you, or maybe just another day, With time to say I love you and time to say goodbye. But that’s a dream, I can’t go back, And all that I can promise is my love will keep me waiting here Until you turn that corner and I see you once again.
