Perry Como

Don't Leave Me

The willow weeps 
and having wept 
can weep no more 
but still it cries for me 
it cries in sympathy 
it knows that you are gone . . . 
don't leave me baby!
 
There was a time 
when you were mine 
an' not so long ago 
I used to say 
you'd never go away 
you'd never leave me lonely . . .
don't leave me baby!
 
Think about the happy times 
the groovy times 
don't tell me they are gone 
I just can't carry on an' 
and know that you're not here 
you're not near 
anymore . . .
 
Don't leave me baby
things are gonna work out fine 
don't leave me baby 
think I'm goin' outta my mind
don't leave me baby 
don't leave me behind!
 
( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! )
 
( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! )
 
The willow weeps 
and having wept 
can weep no more 
but still it cries for me 
it cries in sympathy 
it knows that you are gone . . . 
 
It cries for me . . .
 
( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! )
 
 . . . the willow weeps!
