Moving On

Today, I saw you with another lad...
a younger bloke with a beard of black.
Just one more sign that it is true--
that I can never have your love back.

We had our fun, sweetie, that I know...
but you are moving on, and so must I.
I'm happy that you found another love--
even though, sometimes, I must cry.

You're a good kid, and I still love you...
but another won your heart, and that's good.
Treat him as well as you treated me--
love him and make him as happy as you could.

So now, I must take my leave, forevermore...
may you find what you could not with me.
Go your way, child, and I shall go mine--
just as Cupid and Fate have agreed to decree.
