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...
