Please Come Back
You were so fine,
And I thought you were mine,
But I guess I was wrong
Because your note said so long
Why?
Why did you have to say good-bye?
I now live in regret
And you can bet
I’ll be thinking of you,
Will you think of me, too?
I should have been there
To show you that I care.
Now I can’t go back,
I’ve run out of slack,
And I’ve myself to blame.
Things will never be the same
Without you.
Tell me it’s not true,
Tell me I misunderstood,
Tell me you’ve not left me for good.
No,
I cannot let you go.
Your friends say you love me,
So why can’t you see,
I can’t live without you.
I love you tender and I love you true.
I fall asleep,
But my sleep’s not deep,
Morning and night you fill my sight.
I see you everywhere I look,
Watching a movie or reading a book.
I hope it’s not too late
To look for you and set things straight.
You’ve been on my mind,
Since the day you left me behind.
Please don’t go,
Come back to me my sweet, sweet doe,
Because I love you,
And you leaving has left me blue.
Please forgive me,
I beg for another chance, you see.
I’m down on my knees,
Come listen to my pleas.
I promise to be true.
I beg you,
Come back to me,
For you see,
I know what you did wrong
And that’s why I sing this song
Of love and heartbreak.
So, for the sake
Of love my doe,
Do not go.
Stay here in my arm
Where I’ll keep you safe from home
