If you ever leave me
You would never see me cry
On the outside of my smile
Though the tears would fall inside my mind
A feeling of autumn
Would chill my heart and gray the sky
Leaving memories in time
Because when you were with me everything was fine
Every single time I loved you
And now my fair weather friend
We shall see
Will you love me in the end?
I sometimes feel worried
That you soon will fly away
To a better place to play
Well, if you go and leave me baby then that's alright
I know there's nothing I can do
But burn his house down
And give all his money to you
Painting silver wagons in the summertime
Doing lots of things that once seemed bad
Watching your eyes close when the night has come
Makes me feel so glad
To be with you
Every moment I'm alive
I feel happy
Just to be on your side
Baby it's my kinda style
Burning things just seems to make me smile
Well it's the last time
You're leaving me behind
You're driving me crazy baby
When I'm not with you all I do is dream
That you're with another man
Please stay with me
Long as you can
Well you know I need you
More than you need me babe
But nothing can stop me baby
When you know I love you and you love me too
Now, stop! Wait a minute
How did you know?
Tell me baby, does it Show?
I'll love you forever
Even if you say goodbye
As time moves on
Can't you see why?
We are dying every moment we're alive
Even when we smile.
I love you!
