Well I am sorry I must let you go
See there's a few things that you ought to know
I have loved and lost many times before
But now I love again and I am holding on
Well I have known a love that's like smoke in air
First you see it then it disappears
And you smell of it as you're standing there
And it stings your eyes as you dry your tears
But there's times I'd been the last one to have left you all alone
But I don't know where you're going
And I cannot take you home
Well it was paradise dancing next to you
It was Saturday and I asked you to
Take a break from your week and you hand me a drink
Now we're talking in circles, I'm starting to sink in
Everyone's been asking what I would do if I were alone
But I don't know where you're going
And I cannot take you home
Well there is a time and a place
You see my heart and it's on my face
Well there is a heartache that goes without saying
We dance and wish to wish
And I'm left with this to risk
And you and I both know that a kiss would be wasted
But even as I'm saying this I'm sinking like a stone
Because you're beautiful you know this and I'm leaving you alone
You see I know that I could hold you but it's better if I don't
Because I don't know where you're going
And I cannot take you home
