Sweetheart Don't Throw Yourself Away

Tennessee Ernie Ford


Love is like a young tree that lives or dies and then becomes a mem'ry of tragedy
Soon you'll be far away and free forever gone but you'll always be a part of me
Tomorrow you'll be leaving my world but I'll keep loving the girl who's with me today
Sweetheart don't throw yourself away
Sweetheart don't throw yourself away
Oh let your pride be led astray by stranger called shame
Sweetheart I know the loneliness have magnified your emptiness
But don't let it disgrace your name I mean what I say
Sweetheart don't throw yourself away
Sweetheart don't throw yourself away...
