I can't leave you

Story Behind The Song

Wrote this song in 2002, not even out of high school yet. This is the first time I've recorded it, and I am making a more complex arrangement at the moment. Have been playing this song at various open mics for years, always to a good response.

Song Description

A love song about discovering that you've fallen in love with someone. Very simple arrangement for the moment, acoustic guitar and vocals. Intensifies a bit toward the end with a bit more loose feel in the vocals.

Lyrics

Where did you come from?
what brought us here?
All happened so quickly but so sweetly
now I need you near

I want you to hold me
I wanna be by your side
want this feeling to last forever
got nothing to hide

love when I look into your eyes
this love's something I can't disguise
the best times are the times when
I'm with you

Will you be here forever?
Will you comfort me in pain?
Are you always gonna hold me in your arms when I'm all alone and in the rain?
Please say that you'll never leave me
because you know I can't leave you now

Wherever you came from,
whatever brought us here,
it seems like we were meant to be,
the message is clear

don't want to think what would be if
you leave, oh what I wouldn't give
to know this feeling will not end

Chorus

I think about you every day
and it seems that I dream my life away
got me wrapped around
around your finger
tell me your love will linger, and never leave

chorus
