Ahh ahh ahh
I can't stay, yes I know
You know I, hate to go
But goodbye, love was sweet
Our worlds can, never meet
And I cried just a little cause I love you so
And I died just a little cause I have to go away   
Can't you see, how I feel
When I say, love's unreal
So goodbye, it's been sweet
Even though incomplete
And I cried just a little cause I love you so
And I died just a little cause I have to go away

Every night, I still hear
All your sighs, very clear
Now love's gone, gone away
As I once heard you say
And I cried just a little cause I love you so
And I died just a little cause I have to go away
