Well it seems such a long time
Since our love had it’s day
You hope it knew the times I tried not let you slip away
Not always eye to eye looking at what’s new
You know it wont be easy, being without you

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love baby
Take one last look at the love we’re leaving behind
One last look, there’ll be no more making your mind up
One last look at love oh oh

I realize you’re changing
You know it needs to be
I didn’t know this trust in you would take your love from me
We gave each other something we outgrew yesterday
I hope that you remember, how love it was with me

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love baby
Take one last look at the love we’re leaving behind
One last look, there’ll be no more making your mind up
One last look at love
You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love
Take one last look at the love we’re leaving behind
One last look, there’ll be no more making your mind up
One last look, one last look at love
