Don't Leave Me Now - Rodney Crowell

I’ve been a liar

I’ve been untrue

I’ve compromised myself

But I’ll make it up to you

I’ll beg your forgiveness

Hand on my heart

To shatter your faith in me

Has blown my whole world apart

Don’t leave me now

I don’t know how much more I can say

Don’t leave me now

There’s no right way, there’s no wrong way

There’s only your way

In spite of all the shame on me

I’ll shoulder all the blame, you’ll see a different man

I pledge my very soul to you

I die before I’ll ver do you wrong again

Life has very simpl laws

To profit from the pain you cause a man must pay

Heaven knows if time will close

The book on how this story goes, I dare not say

Don’t leave me now

In time I can get this thing right

Don’t leave me now

On a different night, in a different light

I can make this right

Don’t leave me now

(In time I can set this thing straight)

Don’t leave me now

(And I’ll make it worth the wait)

Don’t leave me now

(You tell me that it’s not too late)

(I know that I could change my fate please)

Don’t leave me now

This mistake I made will someday fade into the evening shade
