Soon the leaves will fall I'll watch the lonely moon in the sky And when dawn breaks, I'll listen for your heartbeat But what I'll hear is your last goodbye The saddest sound of all We'll meet again, we'll stare and then We'll smile and speak as strangers do And all I'll be to you is someone you once knew I know every line The way your eyes shine in the dark
You'll take your fire, your tenderness, your strength And the memories here in my heart Are all you'll leave behind We'll meet again, we'll stare and then We'll smile and we'll stop and speak as strangers do The love we made will fade away You'll wave and as you turn to go, I'll know it's true All I can be to you is someone you once knew
