It was hard as we passed in the moonlight
The hurt in your eyes; the stifled goodbyes
And I knew, as you turned this was always
No parting remark, no shot in the dark

So take care of your love tonight
Take care of your love
‘cause I know, like a candle, it can flicker

So take care of your love tonight
Take care of your love
‘Cause I know, if she goes, how you’ll miss her

Make this one last
‘cause love really hurts when it's past
Make this one last

Life goes on, Now you’re gone, it gets better
As the day fall away and the memories fade
I’ll catch myself smile, as I think, of a moment
That would make you laugh, and that breaks my heart

So take care of your love tonight
Take care of your love
‘cause I know, like a candle, it can flicker

So take care of your love tonight
Take care of your love
‘Cause I know, if she goes, how you’ll miss her

Make this one last
‘cause love really hurts when it's past
Make this one last

I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
If you keep me waiting
