Don’t Go Love

My love, my love why are you leaving? Stay,

My poor heart aches each time you have to go

Stay with me every night and each day

When you walk out the door my heart screams no

With you I feel like I am completed

Oh how you make my soul dance in delight

My love for you has never receded

When I am with you I am full with might

There is no need to be scared or afraid

My heart is open for you to know me

The sweet love we share I would never trade

I will always know we are meant to be

My love, my love never leave me behind

A love like this never again I'll find
