I remember how your eyes used to light up

Over promises that I made

But for the first time in my life

I know now how it feels to be afraid
I don't know what I'd do if you go away

This would sure be one lonely old town

For a man's so busy going up in the world

That he couldn't see love coming down

Like some fool on a merry-go-round

Would just be wasted if you le-ave me

If you just give one more try

If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
