Leaving Is A Whole Lot Harder

(album: This Much A Man - 1972)

It's no use to try to place the blame
And say who has been wrong
Even though we know it's over
Flames of love still linger on
And both knowing that goodbyes to what we had
Are soon to come
Leaving is a whole lot harder
Than being gone

It's not easy to walk away from arms I know I'll miss
Being near you, I still want your touch
And your tender kiss
Knowing that I can't replace the love
For you, still beating strong
Leaving is a whole lot harder
Than being gone

Memories of loving you will walk the hallways of my mind
But they say the past will fade into
A dream that's lost in time
Still I find it hard to break the chains
From loving you so long
Leaving is a whole lot harder
Than being gone

It's not easy to walk away from arms I know I'll miss
Being near you, I still want your touch
And your tender kiss
Knowing that I can't replace the love
For you, still beating strong
Leaving is a whole lot harder
Than being gone
Leaving is a whole lot harder
Than being gone
