Love Me Or Leave Me
Tony Osborne And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no else unless that someone is you, you, you

I intend to be independently blue
I want your love but I don't want to borrow




I have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love but there's no love for nobody else

Quando jovem, as orquestras eram ouvidas diariamente em Porto Alegre por meio das rádios Guaíba, Cultura, Difusora e Itaí, as mais ouvidas. Meu sonho era estudar no Instituto de Belas Artes da Universidade Federal do RS, piano e regência. Aos 71 anos estudo piano/ teclado e violino. Tenho um aplicativo que salvo essas músicas maravilhosas e por meio da internet, estou adquirindo as pautas dessas músicas para estudar e tocá~las. Aquele jovem do passado retornou bem mais maduro, forte e com as mesmas emoções. Gratidão Gustavo.

Love this album, especially since it includes 4 songs written by my favorite composer of popular songs, namely Harry Warren.

Fantastic album and in glorious "STEREO"! Thank you for all of your uploads. Love the first song: "The Moon Was Yellow"! I used to have a 101 Strings stereo album called "A Night In The Tropics" that did the same song! Wish I still had my vinyl collection. but EVERY record I owned was stolen about two years ago in 2017!
