July

I saw you leave
At the end of the summer
But you’ll be back
As if you never left

And time will pass
And we won’t speak
And I’ll feel like I did the same time next week

And I hate to think I’m happy
When you’re about to go
And I hate to think I’m happy
When this feeling is all that I know

I see you smile
With a tear in your eye
We’re losing a grip that felt so tight

Like flowers will grow
Where the world dies
But please will you linger on this goodbye?

And I hate to think I’m happy
When you’re about to go
And I hate to think I’m happy
When this feeling is all that I know

And I hate to think
I hate to think, I hate to think I’m happy

And I hate to think, I hate to think, I hate think I’m happy

And I hate to think I’m happy
And I hate to think I’m happy
And I hate to think I’m happy
And I hate to think I’m happy
