It was hard as we passed in the moonlight The hurt in your eyes; the stifled goodbyes And I knew, as you turned this was always No parting remark, no shot in the dark So take care of your love tonight Take care of your love ‘cause I know, like a candle, it can flicker So take care of your love tonight Take care of your love ‘Cause I know, if she goes, how you’ll miss her Make this one last ‘cause love really hurts when it's past Make this one last Life goes on, Now you’re gone, it gets better As the day fall away and the memories fade I’ll catch myself smile, as I think, of a moment That would make you laugh, and that breaks my heart So take care of your love tonight Take care of your love ‘cause I know, like a candle, it can flicker So take care of your love tonight Take care of your love ‘Cause I know, if she goes, how you’ll miss her Make this one last ‘cause love really hurts when it's past Make this one last I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care If you keep me waiting
