How Could You Leave

All day I sit alone just thinking about your smile

I see you in my dreams

How you complete me

Flowers you left me here

Still wilt on the shelf by the phone

You took a part of me

All the tears I've cried for you

It's day by day for me

The only way I get by

I keep talking in my sleep

As if you were still right by my side, baby

How could you leave? I need you with me

All of the precious memories

(All of the memories)

Just left them behind

And how my heart cries

Without you I'm so lost, baby

(I'm so lost)

I still can't believe

That you could just leave

Me standing alone in misery

(All of the misery)

Just left me behind

To cry, please come back, baby

I pray, I call your name

Still wishing that you would come home

Nothing comforts me

But if you could hold me

My world would start to turn

For a moment that things would be right

Can you hear me?

Baby, don't you need me too?

Are you afraid of me?

Please tell me how love passed us by

(Can't get by)

Right now I'll do anything

Just to have you right back in my life, baby, yeah

(Right by my side)

How could you leave? I need you with me

All of the precious memories

Just left them behind

(All of the memories)

And how my heart cries

(Oh, baby, baby)

Without you I'm so lost, baby

(I'm so lost)

I still can't believe

That you could just leave

Me standing alone in misery

(How could you leave me?)

Just left me behind

To cry, please come back, baby

All of the pain and the hurt trapped inside

Keeps pulling me down and God knows how I try

So hard when you love someone

The way that I love you

Please come back, we can talk it all out

Through time and space, my love away for you

It's day by day for me

The only way I get by

(Can't get by)

I keep talking in my sleep

As if you were still right by my side, baby, oh

How could you leave? I need you with me

All of the precious memories

Just left them behind

And how my heart cries

Without you I'm so lost, baby

(Baby, I'm so lost, I don't know what I'm gonna do)

I still can't believe

That you could just leave

Me standing alone in misery

(Standing alone)

Just left me behind

To cry, please come back, baby

(Baby, I don't know, I don't know, oh, darling)

How could you leave? I need you with me

(No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah)

All of the precious memories

(I don't know what to do)

Just left them behind

And how my heart cries

Without you I'm so lost, baby

(Baby, I'm so, so lost)

I still can't believe

That you could just leave

Me standing alone in misery

(How could you leave me alone?)

Just left me behind

To cry, please come back, baby

(Baby, come back to me)

How could you leave? I need you with me

All of the precious memories

Just left them behind

And how my heart cries
