how could i leave

whoa. yeah. how could i leave

how could i possibly go on

if you should say goodbye

just like a rose

if you don't water it every morn

it widthers and it dies

promise you won't leave me

promise you won't hurt me

promise you won't ever make me blue

if you ever leave me

if you should desert me

baby i don't know just what i'd do

i don't know just what i'd do

i really don't know just i'd do

whoa ho ho

it was ordained

that man should leave his mother and cling

to the woman that he loves

i'm very sure

that i could never love anyone

the way i love you now

oh oh yeah

whoa ho ho ho

how could i

how could i baby

whoa. yeah. whoa now now

oh oh yeah. oh yeah
