Don't Let Love Slip Away

 

"The heart was made to be broken."

                                Oscar Wilde, Poet
 

My inspiration is Glenn Hughes and his song called 
Why Don't You stay from his album, From Now On. 


I am thinking of you and memories haunt me. I've tried hard to forget you.
And I've heard you moved on without looking back. You have found another
to love and I've been crying every day. Oh, here's a nice picture of us that is
breaking my heart and soul. It won't go away! Don't you think of me just a
little, love? Because I think of you each moment.  Because I love you still and
I'm calling you to ask won't you come back to me ?


do not stay away 
come from where you are my love ...
          like a bird flying

Let's just love each other, because we've been through so much, because life
is a struggle sweetheart. My heart is broken and yours is too. I'm saying I 
love you, so won't you give it a chance with me. Baby, just take a step to
true love. Let's make this work please, because I am nothing without you
darling. Don't let our love slip away. Don't let our love slip away.


let us be lovers
as I am lost without you ...
          fly home like a bird
