If you ever should leave,
Why would I want to live?
Darling you must believe,
Won't you try to forgive?
What a fool I would be,
If I fooled with your love for me.
I'd be wrong from the start,
I'd be unfair to my heart.
Oh, whatever you do,
Don't you say that we're through,
I'd do nothing but grieve,
If you ever should leave.
{repeat all three stanzas}
I'd do nothing but grieve,
If you ever should leave.
