Circle Dance

I don't know why it should be sohard

Givin' up this circle dance

Worn out steps from long ago

Don't give love a chance

It's a bitter heirloom handed down

These twisted parts we play

I'm not her and you're not him

It just comes out that way

Can't go back to make things right

Wish I'd understood

Time has made things clearer now

We did the best we could

I'll be home soon that's what you'd say

And a little kid believes

After a while I learned that love

Must be a thing that leaves

I tried so hard just to hold you near

Was as good as I could be

Even when I had you here

You stayed so far from me

Can't go back to make things right

Wish I'd understood

Time has made things clearer now

You did the best you could

Now that this has occurred to me

But I wanted you to know

Then too faithful all my life

It's time to let you go

Time has made things clearer now

It's time to let you go

Time to let you go
