Don't Leave Me Tonight

I know that look, I've seen it before.

It's the one that guys wear,

Before they walk out the door.

But hush, my darling...

Not tonight.

I know that touch, I've felt it too.

It's the one that lingers,

And haunts everything you do.

But hold me, darling...

Just for tonight.

Cause I'm not ready to say goodbye.

Not prepared to rip apart my life.

So if you love me, darling...

Not tonight.

***

This is not the night to walk,

Away from who we are.

The angels are watching,

I see them in the stars.

And they whisper, baby...

Not tonight.

The way you kiss me,

It's so bittersweet.

And there's tears in my eyes,

As you look down on me.

But, if you loved me,

Give me one last golden time...

And darling,

Not tonight.

***

We can wake up in the morning,

And part our seperate ways.

Just give me one last memory,

Before your name slips off the page.

I'll hold you with me forever,

Even as you start to fade away.

You'll walk in my footsteps,

Each and every day...

***

But tonight is not the night to,

Give up on this dream.

Let's take this time and cling to,

Each and everything.

Just promise me one thing...

Not tonight.

The end is coming.

I can feel it in the way you breathe.

Heartbreak is numbing,

But I like the way you hold me.

As I whisper, baby...

Not tonight.

***

I woke up with the sunrise,

To rose petals on the bed.

And laying next to my fingers,

Was a note I hadn't read.

I broke down and started crying,

When I reached the end of the paper.

It said, "You'll find love someday"

With a heart and your signature.

***

Because today is the day to,

Wake up to something new.

Time to pull away the stitches,

That once held me to you.

I'll carry your love forever,

In everything I do...

But today is the day to go out in the world,

And find a love that's true...

I'm sorry that love wasn't you.
