Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You told me
That you would leave me here
In tears
Now you're gone and hours seem like years
So darling, I sing my song
[Verse 2]
Your leaving
Makes my heart beat slow
And slow
Now I'm wondering where did you go?
Please tell me
Tell me what is wrong
[Verse 3]
I still love you
Won't you please come back to me?
Come back where
Where you ought to be
Don't stay away from me
'Cause you'll always be my own
We'll be together
For eternity
[Verse 4]
You told me
That you would leave me here
In tears
Now you're gone and hours seem like years
And you left me singin' a song
I'm just singin' a song
You left me singin' a song
