And I knew that this day would soon arrive
And I thought I was ready for our goodbye
And I see how weak and frail you are
But this last act of love is so hard
Leave it to me to enjoy the route
To the pleasures of life you had figured out
Leave it to me to let you go
But this last act of love hurts me so
Selfish me for holding on
But for so many years you were the only one
Who made me smile on the worst of days
And pushed all life's troubles out of the way
And I saw what mattered the most
A trip around the block with you walking close
One last time to look in your eyes
And share together one last sunrise
One last time to hold you near
And thank you for all these precious years
And say "I love you" with all my broken heart
For this last act of love is so hard
