Leave, love
It's quiet when you're not around
But then you're never really gone
You exist in the starry skies
And in the words of this song
You're like the pull of the ocean-tide
And I'm carried along
Do I mean something to you, love,
Or am I just another heart you've won?
When I look at you I see
A tiny part of me
When you're looking back I wonder
If we could ever be
Looking back and now we know
That nothing comes for free
We've paid our dues, we've earned our right
To possibility
Leave, love, while I'm awake
Let's not recall the give or take
Leave, love, just leave me here
Leave while I still hold you dear
Tomorrow's coming soon enough
We're never out of time
Regret belongs to yesterday
For tonight you're mine
I was all right before you came
And I'll always be fine
But darling, if you steal my heart
You'll have to pay in kind
Leave, love, while I'm awake
Let's not recall the give or take
Leave, love, while you still can
Don't tell me that you'll be my man
Leave, love, just leave me here
Leave while I still hold you dear
Leave while I still want you near
The funny thing is... I think I want you to stay.
But then you're never really gone
You exist in the starry skies
And in the words of this song
You're like the pull of the ocean-tide
And I'm carried along
Do I mean something to you, love,
Or am I just another heart you've won?
When I look at you I see
A tiny part of me
When you're looking back I wonder
If we could ever be
Looking back and now we know
That nothing comes for free
We've paid our dues, we've earned our right
To possibility
Leave, love, while I'm awake
Let's not recall the give or take
Leave, love, just leave me here
Leave while I still hold you dear
Tomorrow's coming soon enough
We're never out of time
Regret belongs to yesterday
For tonight you're mine
I was all right before you came
And I'll always be fine
But darling, if you steal my heart
You'll have to pay in kind
Leave, love, while I'm awake
Let's not recall the give or take
Leave, love, while you still can
Don't tell me that you'll be my man
Leave, love, just leave me here
Leave while I still hold you dear
Leave while I still want you near
The funny thing is... I think I want you to stay.
