Lyrics
VERSE
I want to put this guitar down and take her softly by the hand
She's been coming here all week, and I still don't understand
Why she's dancin' with her shadow all by herself
Seems like she's lookin' hard for somebody else
CHORUS
(So I'll) (We should) leave her alone; she has gone to another place
Somethin' is wrong, but she seems very strong; amazin' grace
She might talk to me some time but that time isn't now
So I'll leave her alone; I'm just not sure how
VERSE
Excuse me, sir, before you ask her to dance
There's somethin' you should know
I've been watchin' her all week
She's waitin' for someone to show
When we play a love song, lonely teardrops fill her eyes
So I don't think this is a good time to try
Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I know she will not be there forever
And I know when she returns, I'll be here
Repeat CHORUS/TAG
I'm just not sure how
No, I don't know how I could leave her alone
How could I leave her alone?
