No Regrets

(album: If Not For You - 1971)

I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes
I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone

No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

The hours that were yours
Echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share
I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
It felt so strange to lie awake alone

No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

Our friends have tried
To turn my nights into day
Strange faces in your place
Can't keep the ghosts away
Just beyond the darkest hour
Just behind the door
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone

Oh no regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
