If You Leave Me Now
VS 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

"I had a wonderful time Trevor, but we both know that I made a vow to my husband"
"I...know"
"You have a great pain inside you but you are a beautiful man"
"I've never been so sad and so happy in my life"
"You have a beautiful way with words"
"For...some...reason...everyone I love, abandons me!"
"I'm not abandoning you, I'm going home"
"If he mistreats you.."
"I know...I know"

창가에서옛날을생각하며
추억에잠기곤하지요
예전에는카세트로
듣곤했고
지금은스마트폰으로
이 아름다운노래를
듣고있네
아주행복하군요
모두에게행운이777

Im so amazed over how so many people know this song from their loved ones who passed away. I just want to say that I feel you, I see you and you are not alone. This beautiful song reminds me of my beloved godfather, who raised me as a daughter. He was like a father to me and we used to listen to this song all the time in the car. This song reminds me of him so much ❤️

My ex husband who committed suicide loved Chicago. This song brings back so many memories and I played this over and over after his funeral.
