Lyrics The Leaving - Cliff Richard

The Leaving

She came to me and stood there
Not knowing how to start
The tear that shone upon her face
Almost broke my heart
You see I love her
She tried to speak, to say the things
That still remain unsaid
The tears were flowing freely down her face
I had to turn my head
Because I love her
She wants to leave, I know she does
But she can’t find the words, I couldn’t help her
How can I, when I feel this way
There’s nothing in the world that I could say to help her
Her tiny hands were trembling
Her suitcase by her side
She seemed to turn away to go
And through these tears I cried
I knew I love her
So ends another love song
But this one means much more
It’s really quite ironical but I never thought before
To say I love her
Oh she wants to leave, I know she does
But she can’t find the words, I couldn’t help her
How can I, when I feel this way
There’s nothing in the world that I could say to help her
Oh she wants to leave, I know she does
But she can’t find the words, I couldn’t help her
How can I, when I feel this way
There’s nothing in the world that I could say to help her
