Strong Enough to Stand Aside ...1/17/83








to a best friend

that I have to let go
because the love that I have
is strong enough to stand aside

...to see you happy
and wait for a place to fit in


not wanting to get in the way
not wanting to be a threat

or something that you fear
yet wanting to be something...
that is welcome and belongs in your life

Because of the love that I have

is strong enough to stand aside
...to see you happy
and wait for a place to fit in

Doing this is hard

trying to give it all of my strength

but with so much pain
that it's tearing me apart

you just say so, and I'll stay
If not, I'll be back
and I'll be here when you are ready

Because of the love that I have

is strong enough to stand aside

...to see you happy
and wait for a place to fit in
