If You Leave Me Now
Fausto Papetti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Don't go, please don't go)
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today





If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby, please don't go
