Please Don't Leave Me Now Lyrics

He held her in his arms that first September
And it scared them both to finally go that far
But all night long they talked about forever
And they couldn't hide the feelings in their hearts
He said, "I don't wanna spend tonight alone"
But it's late and I really should get home

And she said, "Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
I don't wanna let you go, I know it's love we've found
Please, please don't leave me now"

With wedding bells still ringing in his memory
A baby cried with her first breath of life
And he stood beside the bed with his new family
And brushed away a pain drop from her eye
She said, "Don't worry hon, I'm just a little weak"
And he said, "Close your eyes and try to get some sleep"

And she said, "Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
I need a little strength from you, God, you look so proud
Please, please don't leave me now"
That night as she lay burning with a fever
He held her hand, and never gave up hope
He said God I'm sure you know how much I need her
Then he whispered just before her fever broke

Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
God, if you've been listening
Let her hear these words somehow
Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please, please don't leave me now...
