Don't Go Away - Carmen McRae

Don’t go away

Now that you walked into my life

And brought me sunshine

Don’t go away

Now that you opened up my door

And gave me flowers

Don’t go away

Now that you painted a smile

On a face that knew how to cry

Don’t go away

Now that you’ve shown me a way

That I don’t have to say good-bye

Don’t go away

Now that you walked into my life

And gave me good times

Don’t go away

Now that you opened up my door

And brought me true love

Don’t go away

Now that you planted a dream

In a mind that never knew how

Don’t go away

How could I live without you

After you made me need you now

Don’t go away

Now that you walked into my life

And gave me good times

Don’t go away

Now that you opened up my door

And brought me true love
