Lyrics
DEARLY BELOVED
I'll tell you a story of how it will be
Living a lifetime without you
I know that sounds crazy, but
Darlin', listen to me
I'm gonna leave you alone
Can't you see
I'm setting you free
To live out your life on your own
My love has never grown, so
So Long, Honey, I'm gone
Dearly Beloved, I can't marry you
I'll Always remember how good it would feel
Each time I held you in my arms
The warmth of your body
Oh, it seems so unreal
That I'm gonna leave you alone
Can't you see
I'm setting you free
To live out your life on your own
My love has never grown, so
So Long, Honey, I'm gone
Dearly Beloved, I can't marry you
Can't you see
I'm setting you free
To live out your life on your own
My love has never grown, so
So Long, Honey, I'm gone
Dearly Beloved, I can't marry you
There's just one thing left to say
I'm crying as I walk away
Dearly Beloved, I can't marry you
