Slipping Away — текст песни (Richard Marx)

I said I wouldn`t cry
The day you say goodbye
It`s not like I`ll never see you again
I guess the things you need
You just can`t get from me
But you still can reach out to me now and then

My head is spinning round
All my defenses down
I have held the world in my hands
But I can`t keep you from slipping away,

If time will show me grace
And you to a better place
Then I can live knowing it wasn`t in vain
It hurts so much to know when love means letting go
And no one can tell me that they`ve felt my pain

No strength can stop you now
Will someone show me how
How to live it over again
`cause I can`t keep you from slipping away

I will never break your power over me
I could never shake the thought of you burning in my mind
You`re all I see

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I can`t keep you from slipping away
Oh, Slipping away,
