It Doesn'T Have To Be That Way

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY Verse 1: Darkness creeps up to the city, covers it with night. A tiny little candle gives me warmth and light. Kettle’s whistling, calls for coffee. I would like it strong I don’t call you. You don’t care. Oh, we’re both wrong. Bridge: I don’t want to see the closed door when we part. I don’t want to feel emptiness in my heart. I don’t want to cry over my loss. You’ll come back to mind as a shadowy ghost. Chorus: It doesn’t have to be that way Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay? Stars shine out on your way back home. While I’m left to be all alone. Th’ sunrise will come back from the dark. A’ new day will reignite the spark. Love will come back again through fears. As raindrops wash away my tears. Verse 2: I gaze out of the window, waiting for you at night. All I want is to see you again tonight. Fading feelings are so deep that I’ll never forget. In the memory of you I have no regrets. Bridge: Chorus: Verse 3: Tender whispers from your lips and the warmth of your hands Don’t leave me alone, but for now we’re just friends. And I know exactly what price I would pay, To be held by you day and night, night and day.
