Verse 1
I thought we were lucky
You’d want to grow old with me.
But how could I not see
You drifting away?
If you leave without me
You take all my life away
I guess that you can’t see
I need you to stay.
Chorus
You’re turning around
And you take my breath away
My heart makes no sound
Oh won’t you stay?
No tears allowed
As you take my life away
Slip back into the crowd
(You take away)
Verse 2
Please don’t just forsake me
Turn around and look in my heart.
These tears make me weary
Of playing my part.
Do these years count for nothing?
Am I really condemned to die?
The candle flames waning
But I need you to stay.
