In Reno town for a few dollars down

you can buy yourself a separation.

And say good-bye to the love

and the life that we shared together.

Sign it away with a stroke of a hotel pen.

All of the dreams that we had

will be gone forever



I can't believe we're through



I won't give up on you.



How can I stand aside

and watch a good love die ?

Don't go down to Reno



stay another night.

One night and you may find



I'll make you change your mind



don't go down to Reno

stay a little bit longer.



Try to remember the day

when the bells were chimin'

picture the clothes that I wore

and I know you'll smile.

Think of the nights when we knew

that our star was climbin'

I can't throw that away



I've got to make you stay.



How can I stand aside...
