(Spoken:) This has got to be the saddest day of my life,

E

I called you here today for a bit of bad news.

A

I won't be able to see you anymore,

E

because of my obligations, and the ties that you have.

A

We've been meeting here every day,

and since this is our last day together,

E

I wanna hold you just one more time.

A

When you turn and walk away, don't look back,

E

I wanna remember you just like this,

- DA - DA - DA - DA - A

let's just kiss and say goodbye.
