I know you're leavin' me behind

I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time

Show a little tenderness before you go

Please let me feel your embrace once more



Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while



We all must feel heartache sometimes

Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine

I've tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able

I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle

Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time



Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while



I'm losin' you and my happiness

My life is so dark I must confess

I'll never, never see your smiling face no more

I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door

Before you leave me, leave me behind

Let me feel happy one more time



Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
