If I can stay away long enough, maybe I'll forget you
If I can stay away long enough, I'll lose my love for you
If I can get you out of my mind, another love I'll try to find
Then live my life of happiness till the end

If I can stay away long enough, maybe you'll forget me
I can stay away long enough if you'll just let me be
'Cause I know our love affair could never last
So I'll just stay away and let it all be in the past

'Cause I know our love affair could never last
So I'll just stay away and let it all be in the past
