[JOHN] You know that our parting breaks my heart I have never felt such sorrow All the love I have I leave with you I once promised 'til d**h do us part, and yet I'll be gone tomorrow Please believe me what I said was true But when I go, I'm on my own The path I walk, I walk alone I face a bitter world with only memories to guide me I care more than I have ever cared Yet I know that I am leaving You'll be in my heart my whole life through And all the love I have I leave with you [MARY] You're a father, you've a family Your son needs you, don't ignore him Just to fight a war you cannot win [JOHN] I hope my son will be proud of me When I fight I'm fighting for him Share the love I leave for you with him [MARY] And so we all must pay the price, for such a stupid sacrifice? Don't you understand that this won't end til we let it [JOHN] When I'm gone you know I won't be back Mines a path that has no turning Please believe me what I said was true That all the love I have, I leave with you [MARY] And all the love I have, you take with you
