Somebody's Leavin'

(Album: Forever - 1979)

Two old worn suitcases standing by the door
Broken hearts and promises scattered on the floor
Sad empty faces, they're not smiling anymore
And not believing somebody's leaving

Going away like the tender words that neither one could say
But it doesn't matter who's to blame, who's to go and who's to stay
Three people's lives are gonna change today
And that treasure dream called family is something that will never be
All because of just one simple reason: somebody's leaving

Two baby blue eyes wondering what went wrong
Her destination hasn't been decided on
All she knows is sadness grows and someone will be gone
Someone she's needing, somebody's leaving

Going away like the tender words that neither one could say
But it doesn't matter who's to blame, who's to go and who's to stay
Three people's lives are gonna change today
And that treasure dream called family is something that will never be
All because of just one simple reason: somebody's leaving
