[Intro]                  [Verse] 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    [Verse] 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         [Verse] 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   [Verse] 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]                             [Verse] 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   [Verse] 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 [Outro]
