Well, you woke me
From a dream about you
Just to say that you were 1

I'm sleepy but I thought
That you said that our love
That will last forever is 2

Well, before you walk out of my life
Would you be especially quiet?

And don't you let my 3
Know that you're leaving
Don't you say another word about it, darling

Don't you let my heart
Hear 4 footsteps walking out the door
Of my hopes and dreams

And don't you let my heart
Know 5 you're leaving
Don't you say another word about it, darling
Leave me now 6 my heart finds out

Well, I see you writing something 7
And leaving it on the dresser
And the tears in your eyes look a lot 8 mine
But I guess it's all for the better

Well, before we say our last goodbye
Baby, won't you 9 me
Just one more time?

And don't you let my heart
Know that you're leaving
Don't you say another word about it, darling

Don't you let my heart
Hear your footsteps walking out the door
Of my hopes and dreams

And don't you let my heart
Know that you're leaving
Don't you say another word about it, darling
Leave me now before my heart finds out
Leave me now before my heart finds out
