He held her in his arms That first September And it scared them both To finally go that far But all night long They talked about forever And they couldn't hide The feelings in their hearts He said,"I don't want to spend tonight alone" But it's late, and I really should get home Chorus: And she said Please, please don't leave me now Oh, please Please don't leave me now I don't wanna let you go I know it's love we've found Please, please don't leave me now The wedding bells are still ringing in his memory A baby cried With her first breath of life And he stood beside the bed With his new family And brushed away a pain drop from her eye She said, Don't worry hon, I'm just a little weak" And he said, close your eyes And try to get some sleep Chorus: And she said Please, please don't leave me now Oh, please Please don't leave me now I need a little bit of strenght from you Gosh, you look so proud Please, please don't leave me now At night she lay burning with a fever He held her hand Got on his knees and prayed Then he brought the baby close So she could see her And he cried out As he felt her slip away Chorus: Please, please don't leave me now Oh please, please don't leave me now God if you've been listing And you hear these words somehow Please, please don't leave me now Oh please, please don't leave me now
