When we look into each other's eyes Our hearts aren't beating wildly as they beat before And when we hold each other in our arms We can't receive the same vibrations anymore And when we hear each other speak our names We don't hear the ringing and the singing of a million bells Perhaps our hearing's failing us perhaps we're hearing other things but who can tell It could be said that way it could be said that way But I'd much rather say it's time for me to go What's the point in making leaving any harder than a leaving really ought to be And this road on which I travel paved with broken glass and gravel Has just room for me I hope there's room for me I suspect that I'll be lonely but I know that if I'm lonely I'll deserve to be And I plan to think about you just as often as I will and that's my plans for me It could be said that way it could be said that way But I'd much rather say it's time for me to go What's the use in making rhymes I'd much rather say it's time for me to go
