Leaving You Lyrics by Great Caesar

Jackson’s Big Sky

2016

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Verse 1]
I can’t go on like this anymore
Restless when I am at your side
So I’m leaving home for a distant shore
Or whatever I may find

Ten years ahead lies the picket fence
Three kids and all of my happiness
But I can’t pretend in the present tense
Hope you'll understand, Love?

[Chorus]
I am leaving you anyway
So why don’t you smile?
I will come back for you someday
So miss me for a while

[Verse 2]
My dreams are teaming with emerald hills
I’m wrapped in sheets of kelly green
So I gaze and lean into windowsills
Where my truth might yet be seen
You know that I’m not a selfish guy
This is the best for both of us
But you’re still so beautiful in my eyes
Hope you'll wait for me, Love?

[Chorus] x2
I am leaving you anyway
(I am stronger so I)
So why don’t you smile
(So I am letting you go)
I will come back for you someday
(Someday might never arrive)
So miss me for a while

[Instrumental / Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I am leaving you anyway
So why don’t you smile?
(So I am letting you go)
I will come back for you someday
(Someday might never arrive)
So miss me for a while

I am leaving you anyway
(I am stronger so I)
So why don’t you smile
(So I am letting you go)
I will come back for you someday
(Someday might never arrive)
So miss me for a while

[Ending]
I am leaving you anyway
