You broke the news without preamble, it won't be too long beforeyour gone
so give me time to think it through so this is it you're movingon
Maybe its the best thing for you maybe its the hardest way
to stop these things we've set in motion it seems foreveryesterday

This must be love for you to give this up. I know how hard thismust be
for you.
If this is the way, how it's gotta be You will get no argumentsfrom me

You'll leave the band to be a man so time wont pass you by
you'll find a wife and start a life I hope things turn outrightãfor you

Somewhere in the world there is a better place for you and her tobe
I hope you find what you've been looking for I hope you're bothhappy and
content I'll miss you my friend this is your decision in theend
I envy you you will live a life maybe you can live a life forme

You'll leave the band to be a man so time wont pass you by
you'll find a wife and start a life I hope things turn outrightãfor you

Now running away don't want the day to come the years ran by sofast how
could you leave why cant you stay why can a beautiful thinglast?
Standing around hearing no sounds hoping the worst of it has pastwhy
cant you stay just one more day why can't a beautiful thinglast?

You'll leave the band to be a man so time wont pass you by
you'll find a wife and start a life I hope things turn outrightãfor you
And maybe in a couple of years I will get a call from you
you will tell me bout your life and how your dreams have all cometrue for
you.
