             G    C          G
It's hard to leave you all behind
                    C             G
Those loving smiles, so sweet and kind
  D        Em  G               C   Am
I love you all, you're part of me
     D     Bm   Em            Am   D
With you I leave the heart of me

It's hard to go, but now's the time
                C       G
With loving arms I intertwine
      D       Em   C  D        Bm   Em
There will be times I miss you so
             Am    D           G   C  G  C
It's hard to leave, but I must go

[Verse]
             G   C          G
I won't look back along the way
             C           G
It only makes me want to stay
     D     Em  G              C     Am
With every step I'm sure I'll find
  D         Bm       Em     Am    D
A different loved one on my mind

[Verse]
           G      C           G
Without my friends here by my side
          C           G
My destiny will be my guide
      D       Em   C  D        Bm   Em
There will be times I miss you so
             Am    D           G

                  C             G
It's hard to leave the ones you love
                  C           G
Though other stars may shine above
    D     Em  G          C     Am
But I can hope within my song
     D     Bm  Em           Am    D
That after all, it won't be long

[Verse]
          G  C           G
But it is now I feel the pain
             C         G
I may not see you all again
      D       Em   C  D        Bm   Em
There will be times I miss you so
             Am    D           G   Em
It's hard to leave, but I must go
             Am    D           C
It's hard to leave, but I must go
