| I looked far away
|
| I looked way into the future
|
| What I saw was you not here with me
|
| And when I looked inside for an answer, honey
|
| I just knew that I had to be free
|
| What I have to say
|
| What I have to say I know will hurt you
|
| After years of love
|
| It’s hard to understand
|
| No, that I’m not leavin' for anyone else, honey
|
| I need to know just who I am
|
| If it’s all right with you
|
| I’ll just excuse myself
|
| Gather up my things
|
| Leave the keys on the shelf
|
| I’ll come back in the morning
|
| When the kids awake
|
| To tell them daddy had to go away
|
| I’m going far away
|
| Nothing lasts forever
|
| I’m going far from where I used to be
|
| I remember that young couple at the chapel
|
| It all seems like a dream to me
|
| I didn’t know myself
|
| Never knew myself when I met you
|
| And even now must seem like a crime
|
| You know that I promised to love you forever
|
| It’s just forever ran out of time
|
| So if it’s all right with you
|
| I’ll just excuse myself
|
| I’ll just gather my things
|
| The keys are on the shelf
|
| I’ll come 'round in the morning
|
| When the kids awake
|
| Ohhh!
|
| To tell them daddy had to go away
|
| Hmmmmmmm
|
| I never knew myself
|
| Mmmmmmmmmmmm
|
| Know that I wanna
|
| Mmmmmmmm
|
| I’m gonna walk on
|
| Far away
|
| Ohhh, heyyyyy!
|
| Mmmmmm
|
| Mmmm
|
| If it’s all right with you
|
| I’ll just excuse myself
|
| I’ll just gather my things
|
| I’ll leave the keys on the shelf
|
| I’ll come back in the morning
|
| When the kids awake
|
| To tell them that Daddy had to go away
|
| If it’s all right with you
|
| I’ll excuse myself
|
| If it’s all right with you
|
| I’ll leave the keys on the shelf
|
| I’ll come back in the morning
|
| When the kids awake
|
| Mmmmmmmm
|
| To tell them that Daddy had to go away
|
| (whistling)
|
| Mmmmmm
|
| Going far away
|
| I need to know who I am
|
| Heyyyyyy!
|
| Mmmmmmmmm |
