Blameless is the world, they say When promise comes in early May The blush of Spring to Autumn red And when snows, she lies again Dear, I count the hours I spend Beneath the moonlight's slivery send But is shame or my own vanity That makes her turn her back on me? Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Each morn I hear a songbird sing She stirs me from my starlit dreams I search for her with dusty eyes But soft as snow, away she flies For years she lay right by my side The truest friend in dog's-hair hide With eyes of frost and brittle bones In spirits world, she lies alone Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me A child's game is youth and beauty Golden hair and lips of ruby But time is cruel and in a hurry With silver hair and a face of worry Is it selfish but to ask Just how long you love will last? The brightest star still fades at dawn Might someday your love be gone? Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me
