The Knee-Hi's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm leaving, I'm closing my eyes
Please come see me before I say goodbye
Oh, darlin', won't you lay with me tonight
Darlin', darlin', the last thing I need
I cannot leave without seeing you, please
So won't you hold me and tell me goodbye (Goodbye)
Darlin', darlin', won't you kiss me on my head
I'm laying patiently on our unmade bed
So won't you hold me and tell me goodbye (Goodbye)
Before I lay here and shut my eyes
(My eyes)
I said, darlin', darlin', darlin'
Won't you lay with me tonight
And while you're at it, please turn off the light
So won't you hold me and tell me goodbye (Goodbye)
Before I lay here and shut my eyes
(My eyes)
I'm leaving, I'm closing my eyes (My eyes)
Please come see me before I die
