Slip Away

Lyrics
Just let me say it now So at least I know you hear: “I love you, dear.”

I don’t know How to make this anymore clear; I want you near.

So sometimes when I miss you (every day), I look right in the mirror and say:

“Why’d you let it slip away? Why’d you let it slip away? I don’t know, I don’t know any better than you Why I let this slip away. I don’t know, I don’t know why things worked out this way. Why’d I let this slip away? Why’d I let this slip away?”

Don’t hold it against me If I want to hold Your hand.

And don’t push me down If I tell you I want to stand Beside you.

Still, sometimes when memories run too deep, I merely close my eyes And weep— And whisper:

“Why’d you let it slip away? Why’d you let it slip away? I don’t know, I don’t know any better than you do Why you let this slip away. I don’t know, I don’t know why things worked out this way. Why’d you let this slip away? Why’d you let this slip away?”

But I have to ask: “Could you believe in me If I told you I’d learned to believe in myself? And could you love me If I told you I’d learned to love myself? And could you trust in me If I told you that all I say is true, And that, in the end, I still love you?”

I won’t let this slip away. No, I won’t, No, I won’t— Not today; I won’t let this slip away. No, I won’t, No, I won’t— Not ever. I won’t let this slip away. No, I won’t, No, I won’t— Because I made a promise. I won’t let this slip away. No, I won’t, No, I won’t, ‘Cause I’ll love you Forever.
