It's Hard to Leave

It's hard to leave you all behind,
Those loving smiles so sweet and kind.
I love you all; you're part of me;
With you I leave the heart of me.

It's hard to go, but now's the time;
With loving arms I intertwine.
There will be times I miss you so;
It's hard to leave, but I must go.

I won't look back along the way;
It only makes me want to stay.
With every step, I'm sure I'll find
A different loved one on my mind.

Without my friends here by my side,
My destiny will be my guide.
There will be times I miss you so;
It's hard to leave, but I must go.

(Instrumental bridge)

It's hard to leave the ones you love,
Though other stars may shine above.
But I can hope, within my song,
That after all it won't be long.

But it is now I feel the pain;
I may not see you all again.
There will be times I miss you so;
It's hard to leave, but I must go.

It's hard to leave, but I must go.
