I don't mean to linger with poems of love
It seems I can't stop although I've tried
And if I said prayers to God above
I don't mean to linger it's just this feeling inside

So sad the story is ending where we'll always be apart
I don't mean to linger
But the first time I saw her
She entered into my heart

Pretending to say goodbye is really just one last try
I don't mean to linger
But the first time I saw her
I still remember the color of her eyes

If I met someone else
Could I let her go
I don't mean to linger
With words you already know
