An attempt to put into words the thoughts that might have been going through The Doctor's mind during that beach scene.

I thought I had more time

I can see you there, standing on the shore
In this place I do not know;
Whilst you seem all right (you're a sight for sore eyes)
I am here to let you go.

You have always been so important to me
More than you could ever know
You don't know how I wish this could end differently,
But I know I must let you go.

So we're here, we two, standing on this shore
In this place I do not know;
How I wish I could say what you want me to say
But I know I must let you go.

There are things we've said, there are things we've done,
I am yours, as you are mine;
But I never said I loved you,
Because I thought I had more time.

You have always been so important to me
More than you will ever know
How I wish, how I wish, this could end differently,
But I have to let you go.

Oh I never said I loved you,
Because I thought I had more time ...

... I thought I had more time.
