Don't sigh a sigh for me Don't ever cry for me This is goodbye for me I know we're through I'm losing you Love sang it's song for me Then things went wrong for me Nights are too long for me Because I'm losing you Our love and our devotion Were deep as any ocean Then, one day, like the tide you began to change And you became a perfect stranger Someone is holding you Sharing the lips I knew I can't believe it's true That I am losing you I can't believe it's true That I am losing you
