It must be something beautiful, Of that I have no doubt. I wish that I could be more fair. In time you’ll have it figured out, But I’m not going to wake you, ‘Cause I can’t bear to face you. [Chorus] I’m sure that tears may fill your eyes Once you find that I am gone, And yet in time, you’ll realize That you’re better off alone. I promise I will always care, But when you wake, I won't be there, 'Cause I'm not going to wake you. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] I don’t want to wake you ‘Cause I don’t want to see you cry, But darling, it’s all over now, So I’ll whisper goodbye. I hate to do this to you, But girl, I know that you’ll get by. So I’m not going to wake you, ‘Cause I can’t bear to face you. [Chorus] I’m sure that tears may fill your eyes Once you find that I am gone, And yet in time, you’ll realize That you’re better off alone. I promise I will always care, But when you wake, I won't be there, 'Cause I'm not going to wake you. [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] I’m sure that tears may fill your eyes Once you find that I am gone, And yet in time, you’ll realize That you’re better off alone. I promise I will always care, But when you wake, I won't be there, 'Cause I'm not going to wake you. [Instrumental Outro]
