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
|

Please Don't Leave Me Now
