Ne Me Quitte Pas (Don't Leave Me)
Don't go away.
If you can't forgive, believe, just to live.
You must forget, forget the times you misunderstood.
Let them slip through your hand with the sands of time
And forget those hours when 'perhaps' has died
At the hands of 'why' and our lack of faith
Don't go away. Don't go away. Don't leave me.
Me, I'll offer you pearls made out of the rain
That falls in a world where rain never falls.
I'll ransack the earth all day and night
To surround you with gold and light.
I'll make a domain where love will be king, where love will be everything
And you'll be the queen.
Don't go away. Dont' go away. Don't leave me.
Don't go away
I'll invent for you words just meant for you
And only you'll know what they meant.
And I'll tell you the truth about how other lovers
Looked into each other and how they were moved.
Then I'll read to you the story of kings
Who lived without meeting you and died without knowing you.
Don't go away. Dont' go away. Don't leave me.
Don't go away
I won't cry anymore
I won't talk anymore
I'll crawl under the bed
And I'll watch you from there
As you smile and you dance
And I'll listen to hear
How you talk, when you laugh it's enough
In the shadow of you shadow
In the shadow of your hand
The shadow of your man
Don't go away. Dont' go away. Don't leave.
If you can't forgive, believe, just to live.
You must forget, forget the times you misunderstood.
Let them slip through your hand with the sands of time
And forget those hours when 'perhaps' has died
At the hands of 'why' and our lack of faith
Don't go away. Don't go away. Don't leave me.
Me, I'll offer you pearls made out of the rain
That falls in a world where rain never falls.
I'll ransack the earth all day and night
To surround you with gold and light.
I'll make a domain where love will be king, where love will be everything
And you'll be the queen.
Don't go away. Dont' go away. Don't leave me.
Don't go away
I'll invent for you words just meant for you
And only you'll know what they meant.
And I'll tell you the truth about how other lovers
Looked into each other and how they were moved.
Then I'll read to you the story of kings
Who lived without meeting you and died without knowing you.
Don't go away. Dont' go away. Don't leave me.
Don't go away
I won't cry anymore
I won't talk anymore
I'll crawl under the bed
And I'll watch you from there
As you smile and you dance
And I'll listen to hear
How you talk, when you laugh it's enough
In the shadow of you shadow
In the shadow of your hand
The shadow of your man
Don't go away. Dont' go away. Don't leave.
