I'll ask you once as I'm leaving Is there anything that I can do to make you change your mind I'll ask you once now that I'm leaving Will you leave all of our memories behind Chorus: I told you that my mind was all askew And I hope that you know anything at all If we could hold onto all of our memories And I'll face all the trouble I have caused I need you near me, oh How many times must I tell you Everything that I have, I give it all to you And though I know how you're feeling I hope that you can see that I will make it up to you [ Chorus ] Well, now you think that it's not working Well, give me time and I'll show you that you're wrong And then I'll hope that it will tell you What a waste it would be to throw it all away Now it's clear how wrong I was I never want to hurt you again To look in your eyes and see that you've cried It pains me inside to know what I've done Just one more time I have to ask you Is there anything I can do to make you change your mind And one more time as I'm leaving Will you leave all of our memories behind [ Chorus ]
