Moving Away

Darling I've something to tell you
It isn't easy to say
My Pa's gone and found
A job out of town
And soon we'll be moving away

Moving away from your smile and your tenderness
Away from the things that we've planned
Away from your kiss and your warm caress
Away from the touch of your hand
Surely you know that I don't want to go
And I'll write you a lie every day
So give me the kiss that I'm gonna miss
For soon I'll be moving away

They say that I'll soon forget you
There I can make a new start
But why can't they see
That you'll never be
Moving away from my heart

Darling I'll soon be returning
Then we can laugh at today
And then it will seem
Just like a dream
When I was moving away
