Before I leave you this time Before I leave you behind I'll tell you I miss you so Maybe the first day I'm away. I'll tell you I might be back this way But please don't you wait. Before I leave you tonight Before I turn off your light I'll tell you there'll be another Maybe not the same, but she'll do. I'll tell you there's not another That likes me so that you will be blue. Now, before I leave you this time Before I leave you behind I'll tell you I miss you so Maybe the first day I'm away. I'll tell you I might be back this way But please don't you wait. Before I leave you tonight (Before I leave you tonight) Before I turn off your light (Before I turn off your light) Before I leave you this time (Before I leave you this time)
