It Was Time - Andy Williams

I never dreamed that it would be so easy

To see you finally walk

On out the door

But I’m tired of trying to make you smile

Living everyday on trial

Tired of always being the one

Who loved a little more

It was time for you to leave me

It was time

It was time

When you really get down to the bottom line

We never had the poetry

We just tried to make it rhyme

It was time that we were over

It was time

Now I know the emptiness I’m feeling

Is more for what we missed

Than what we had

Watching something dying slow

Can hurt much more than letting go

And even with the loneliness

You know I’m almost glad

It was time for you to leave me

It was time

It was time

When you really get down to the bottom line

We never had the poetry

We just tried to make it rhyme

It was time that we were over

It was time

I guess I wasn’t right for you

And you weren’t meant for me

And it doesn’t pay to sell your soul

Just for company

It’s better being lonely

It was time for you to leave me

It was time

It was time

When you really get down to the bottom line

We never had the poetry

We just tried to make it rhyme

It was time that we were over

It was time
