Lyrics

Don’t’ Leave Before You’re Gone

By Mark Zembal, Brandon Chase

Fingers laced, bodies entwined
Lost in this moment trying not to think about the time
The beating of your heart becomes the tickin’ of the clock
Countin’ down the seconds ‘til it hurts too much to talk
And goodbye awaits
And you take the best of me when you walk away

Chorus:
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone
The emptiness will make me come undone
When you go away it’s like a cloud blocking out the sun
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone

I’m lying in your arms and we’re tangled in our bed
But all the small details are already holding you instead
I can hear it in the silence, I can sense it in your touch
Can you stay with me for now
'Cause you'll be leavin' soon enough
And I know what's next
But it always hurts me more than I expect

(Chorus)
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone
The emptiness will make me come undone
When you go away it’s like a cloud blocking out the sun
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone

Remember me and keep me close
Everything is the thing I’ll miss the most
And where you go my heart goes too
My world turns gray without you

(Chorus out)
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone
The emptiness will make me come undone
When you go away it’s like a cloud blocking out the sun
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone
The emptiness will make me come undone
When you go away it’s like a cloud blocking out the sun
Baby don’t you leave before you’re gone
