Lyrics
Don’t leave me now
Now that I need you
How blue and lonely I’d be
If you should say we’re through
Don’t break my heart
This heart that loves you
They’ll just be nothing for me
If you don’t leave me now
What good is dreamin’
If I must dream all alone by myself
Without you darling
My arms would gather dust
Come to these arms
These arms that need you
Don’t close your eyes to my plea
Don’t leave me now
Don’t close your eyes to my plea
Don’t a you leave me now
