I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted You no longer feel the love I have for you What happens now, what will I do with all the mem'ries And the dreams of all the things we'll never do? But I won't mention it again, I won't think about tomorrow Just let it happen, live each hour, day by day But let me tell you before you go how much I love you Then I won't mention it again, I won't mention it again I feel my life has reached an early sign of autumn In my heart the leaves are falling, love is cold And everything that once was warm and new is gone now Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul But I won't mention it again, I won't think about tomorrow Just let it happen, live each hour, day by day But let me tell you before you go how much I love you Then I won't mention it again, I won't mention it again
