| He held her in his arms that first September
|
| And it scared them both to finally go that far
|
| All night long they talked about forever
|
| And they couldn’t hide the feelings in their hearts
|
| He said, «I don’t wanna spend tonight alone»
|
| But it’s late and I really should get home
|
| And she said, «Please, please don’t leave me now
|
| Oh, please, please don’t leave me now
|
| I don’t wanna let you go, I know it’s love we’ve found
|
| Please, please don’t leave me now»
|
| The wedding bells still ringing in his memory
|
| A baby cry with her first breath of life
|
| And he stood beside the bed with his new family
|
| And brushed away a pain drop from her eye
|
| She said, «Don't worry hon, I’m just a little weak»
|
| And he said, «Close your eyes and try to get some sleep»
|
| And she said, «Please, please don’t leave me now
|
| Oh, please, please don’t leave me now
|
| I need a little strength from you, God, you look so proud
|
| Please, please don’t leave me now»
|
| At night she lay burning with a fever
|
| He held her hand, got on his knees and prayed
|
| Then he brought the baby close so she could see her
|
| And he cried out as he felt her slip away
|
| Please, please don’t leave me now
|
| Oh, please, please don’t leave me now
|
| God, if you’ve been listening
|
| And you hear these words somehow
|
| Please, please don’t leave me now
|
| Oh, please, please don’t leave me now |
