Sitting all alone tonight, I'm in a quiet mood
Drawing all these pictures in my mind--they won't come true
An answer to this mystery or even just a clue
Tell me what to do. What am I to do?
If you leave, can you leave it in my hands?
If you go away, to find yourself a better day
I know its hard to say goodbye, its not the way we planned.
And if you leave, my heart is in your hands.
Looking back on yesterday, I swear it was a dream
There was nothing that could come between us, so it seemed.
But you can go no further now, you're up against the wall.
See, the hole we're standing in started off so small.
If you leave, can you leave it in my hands?
If you go away, to find yourself a better day
I know its hard to say goodbye, its not the way we planned.
And if you leave, my heart is in your hands.
One of these days I'll wake up to the sounds of a parade
And there'll be joy and laughter every day.
But how am I supposed to take up all the years that must go on?
And how can I be happy with the rest of my life if the rest of my life is gone?
If you leave, can you leave it in my hands?
If you go away, you know I'll never be the same.
Its almost time to say goodbye, so I hope you understand
That if you leave
