And you force a smile,
        Am7
And you hope,
             D7
She'll under-stand.

       G
Then a tear,
        Bm     Em
Appears in her eyes,
       Am7
As she tightly,
           D7
Holds your hand.
         G
Then you let her know,
         Bm      Em
That its time to go,
         Am7
you must leave,
          D7
While you can.
Oh but;

The one you love.
