Never leave me, never leave me
Is all that I can say, I keep repeating
Never leave me, never leave me
For if you run away
I’ll be like a dawn without a sunrise
A ship without a sail
A keyless lock, a kite without a tail
If you tell me
If you leave me, if you leave me
You’ll take my heart with you
I can’t believe you’ll ever leave me
When love is still so new
But when you hear love calling
You know you must obey
so , never leave me, never leave me
Stay, stay
Never leave me
Never leave me, boy if you run away
Dawn without a sunrise
Ship without a sail
Keyless lock, kite without a tail
If you fail me
If you leave me, if you leave me
You’ll take my heart with you
I can’t believe you’ll ever leave me
When love is still so new
But when you hear love calling
You know you must obey
so , never leave me, never leave me
Stay, stay
