lyrics
Don't ever leave me all alone
no matter where I chance to roam.
Don't ever leave me on my own,
I cannot live this life alone.
Without your love there's only sadness.
Without your love I am so blue.
Please keep my heart and there'll be gladness,
for there's no one for me but you.
Don't ever leave me here to stay
without you I can't find my way.
The nights are blue as they can be
for there can be no place for me.
I need your love.
I need your touch.
I need you, oh
so very much
Don't ever leave me (2x) alone.
