I used to hold her close, like a fire burning bright
But now it feels like we're slipping into the night
Her age, it weighs on my mind, like a heavy stone
She's 29, nearly 30, and I feel so alone
I'm leaving her behind, it's time to set her free
Her 30th birthday's looming, it's not where I wanna be
I know it sounds cold, but it's time to let her go
I can't be tied down to a life that's moving slow
She's got dreams in her eyes, but they're fading fast
I need someone by my side, with a future that will last
I can't be stuck in the past, with no hope in sight
It's time for me to spread my wings, take off in flight
I don't mean to be heartless, but I've got to be true
I need someone with ambition, who'll chase dreams too
I wish her the best, as I walk out that door
But I can't be held back, not anymore
I'm leaving her behind, it's time to set her free
Her 30th birthday's looming, it's not where I wanna be
I know it sounds cold, but it's time to let her go
I can't be tied down, I've got to follow Leo
She's twenty nine now, it may as well be fifty six
Can you see that I'm not an old dog, I need some new tricks
But it's not about the numbers, or the years that fly
It's about the moments, the love that won't die
Yes my dear that's right, this song is a sass
You'll always be young to me, no matter how long comes to pass
I'll love you more than you'll ever know
And I never plan to let you go
I won't leave her behind, it's time to keep her near
Her 30th birthday's looming, it's right where I wanna be
I know it sounds old, but I'll never let her go
I can be tied down
I'll love you more than you'll ever know
Ohh Ohh
I can be tied down, I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever know
You are nearly 30 though
