Lyrics

I'm Going Away Smiling

I'm going away smiling, thinking of our life

How we were good for each other, how we knew

When I came to you, I was all black and blue

You just smiled and said, your love was true

We had a great time, didn't we?

Never knew this is how it would be

Now the boat is slowly leaving, leaving the life I loved

I see you standing at the pier, trying to hide your fear

Thank you for the memories, thank you for the laughs

I'm going away, this time

Remember... no tears
