I know youre leavin me behind
Im seein you darlin for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now Im feelin mine
Ive tried my best to be strong, but Im not able
Im like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
Im losin you and my happiness
My life is so dark I must confess
Ill never, never see your smiling face no more
Ill never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
