I called on you today
I know it’s late to say I’m sorry
There’s so much on my mind
I feel as though the time is upon me
Do you know you take my heart through the door
Are there words to tell you what I live for

I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to lose you

Let me dry your eyes
Is this the last time I can hold you?
There’s hope in this soul
And words that will tread where you go to

Is it true, you are leaving what you believe
Part of you, will always be with me

You have the hand that I need to get by
Understand what it is that’s turning me down

Is it true, you are leaving what you believe
Part of you, will always be with me
