Just a Heartbreak Ago

If this time really is goodbye
Then I won't try to change your mind
I'll let you go without a word to say

And I won't call you when we part
Or write you letters from the heart
I won't bother you in any way

But I'll still see your face in all the old places
I'll still miss the warmth of those last long embraces
And the cold Winter nights when we walked through the snow
And the things that we said just a heartbreak ago

I'll still put a ring 'round the third of September
I'll still run to the phone and then I'll remember
There'll be no gentle voice whispering a 'hello'
Like there once just to be just a heartbreak ago

Just a heartbreak ago you were here by my side
I'm still missing you so and it's hard to hide

But it'll try to forget that your perfume still lingers
Your eyes when we met and the brush of your fingers
The shine of your hair in the candlelight glow
On the night that I lost you just a heartbreak ago

I'll still call your name, feel your head on my shoulder
I'll still feel the same, though the years may grow older
I'll try to pretend that the pain doesn't show
When I think how I lost you
Just a heartbreak ago
