Sneaking kisses in the hall Parting love notes are on the wall Been each other's all and all each day Lovers walking in the rain So close we felt each other's pain But now you say that love has died away
*'Cause we've ended now as lovers Doesn't mean that we each other can't be friends 'Cause we've ended now as lovers Does our love for one another have to end
I remember teaching you On piano 'Tea for Two' And how playing it wrong I kissed your hand But when our love has gone and passed Why does the good exceed the bad Well that's one thing I'll never understand
'Cause I remember us at class You were always the one to pass And gave me answers right to see me through But that was more than years ago And who will love me I don't know It's sad for sure but true it won't be you
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins Silently closing her bedroom door Leaving the note that she hoped would say more She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief Quietly turning the backdoor key Stepping outside she is free. She (We gave her most of our lives) is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives) home (We gave her everything money could buy) She's leaving home after living alone For so many years. Bye, bye Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone. Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly How could she do this to me. She (We never thought of ourselves) is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves) home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home after living alone For so many years. Bye, bye Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made Meeting a man from the motor trade. She What did we do that was wrong is having We didn't know it was wrong fun Fun is the one thing that money can't buy Something inside that was always denied For so many years. Bye, bye She's leaving home. Bye, bye
