(Mark Erelli)Darlin' it's the end for you and I
We've both seen this coming for some time
I could say I'm sorry
But you'd not believe it
You could say you'll change
But honey I'd be dreamingTo drag this on too long would be a crime
There's hard words to be said and tears to cry
The faster we begin
The sooner we can end
So help me find a way to say goodbyeParting's such sweet sorrow
But there's always tomorrow
Another chance that you'll get lucky
Though the odds they're not so grand
You'll find someone to love or even someone you can standYou and I we owe it to ourselves
To put this sad affair back on the shelf
Pull the shades down tightly
And lock up as we leave
Just one more kiss goodbye
Before we throw away the keysDarlin' lose that twinkle in your eye
Take your hand remove it from my thigh
'Cause one more time will only lead to one more time and then
Next thing you know we'll have to go through all of this again
We already know how the story's gonna end
