Lyrics:

(Lyle Lovett) Thank you my friend I sincerely appreciate the words you say About how she'll cry And how she'll grieve and miss me When she goes away Say them again I need to hear the words once more I can't believe How she'll miss me when she's gone And how she'll want to come back home And never leave But she's leaving me Because she really wants to And she'll be happy when she's gone She'll be happy She'll be so very happy She'll dance and sing Or even learn to fly And spend her time with anyone but me What's that you say That I'll get over her the more that time goes by But time goes so slow When all I have to do is sit around and cry No she won't be back I'd be a fool to try to fool myself that way I know she hasn't one regret Because she hasn't had one since The day she came to stay She's leaving me Because she really wants to And she'll be happy when she's gone She'll be happy She'll be so very happy She'll dance and sing And even learn to fly And spend her time with anyone but me She'll be happy when she's gone She'll be happy when she's gone She'll be happy when she's gone She'll be happy when she's gone
