Richard Marx - Slipping Away lyrics

I said I wouldn't cry

The day you say goodbye

It's not like I'll never see you again

I guess the things you need

You just can't get from me

But you still can reach out to me now and then

My head is spinning round

All my defenses down

I have held the world in my hands

But I can't keep you from slipping away,

If time will show me grace

And you to a better place

Then I can live knowing it wasn't in vain

It hurts so much to know when love means letting go

And no one can tell me that they've felt my pain

No strength can stop you now

Will someone show me how

How to live it over again

'cause I can't keep you from slipping away

I will never break your power over me

I could never shake the thought of you burning in my mind

You're all I see

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I can't keep you from slipping away

Oh, Slipping away,
