LISA
Father have you heard
A single word I've said?
You've always told me
Love was built on trust.
SIR DANVERS
Lisa, I don't want to
See you getting hurt
All I have is
But the two of us
And now you're leaving
You are leaving
And it's so hard
To let you go
Letting go
When the time comes that I
Say goodbye to you
It's the last thing on earth
That I want to do
Though it has to be
Though it isn't fair
Letting go
Of the things
You hold dear
Is never easy
How the years
All go by
Much too quickly
Then you turn around
And there's no one there.
LISA
Letting go
Of the things
You hold dear
Is never easy
When your leaving
Your home
How can it be
But the memories
Will never fade away
And I know
Wherever I may go
You'll be
With me here
Inside my heart
I'll never be
Too far away
From you
LISA / SIR DANVERS
Letting go
Of the things
You hold dear
Is never easy
But wherever I go / But wherever you go
You'll be with me
LISA
Though it has to be
SIR DANVERS
Though it isn't fair
LISA AND SIR DANVERS
There will always be
All the love we shared
The hardest thing
Is letting go
