Don't Leave Me Behind

from Anything You Wanted To by Dan Whitaker

lyrics

I'm loving you, baby, I hope you'll always be mine
I need you, baby, just like the stars need to shine
I'm missing you, baby, and I'm about to lose my mind
come back to me, don't leave me behind

I didn't think I'd meet someone as sweet as you could be
it seems that you're the flower and I'm the honey bee
but dancing at the honky tonks you've met some other guys
you left me here but never said goodbye

when the show was over and everyone had gone
you were always waiting there for me
now I look around this lonely juke joint and I've found
an empty bar stool where you should be

I'm drinking now, baby, another shot, another beer
I'm hoping that maybe, your sweetest voice again I'll hear
but til that day, baby, I'll make this bottle my best friend
with every stranger with that has ear to lend

when the show was over and everyone had gone
you were always waiting there for me
now I look around this lonely juke joint and I've found
an empty bar stool where you should be

I'm loving you, baby, I hope you'll always be mine
I need you, baby, just like the stars need to shine
I'm missing you, baby, and I'm about to lose my mind
come back to me, don't leave me
come back to me, don't leave me
come back to me, don't leave me behind
