You have one letter left to send With no beginning and no end You saw them in the park The laughter in the dark, oh no How can you face him and pretend So now you thank him carefully, oh no 'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no I hope you find some reason to be free There is no sunshine in your eyes You make no sound and yet you cry It's not the double cross You feel the love you lost, oh no This letter has to say goodbye So now you thank him carefully, oh no 'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no I hope you find some reason to be free You saw them in the park The laughter in the dark, oh no How can you face him and pretend So now you thank him carefully, oh no 'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no I hope you find some reason to be free
