Lyrics

0:10Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
0:15To write maybe a song about love
0:21Takin' the words as they come to my mind
0:26And I send them along with my love
0:32Just me and a melody sailing peacefully along
0:42All was right with the world and me until love went wrong
0:52Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
1:01If I could but I can't so I won't even try
1:11If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
1:21But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
1:32Casually dressed I'm surviving I guess
1:36I guess only the time will tell
1:41It don't really matter much where I go next
1:46Just as long as it turns out well
1:52Slow feet on a movin' street
1:56And the folks I meet all know
2:01I ain't half as happy
2:06As I was a week ago
2:14Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
2:23If I could but I can't so I won't even try
2:33If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
2:43But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye oh yeah
2:52But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye allright
3:02But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
To write maybe a song about love
Takin' the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love
Just me and a melody sailing peacefully along
All was right with the world and me until love went wrong
Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Casually dressed I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter much where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well
Slow feet on a movin' street
And the folks I meet all know
I ain't half as happy
As I was a week ago
Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye oh yeah
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye allright
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
