Each Time You Leave
Jim Reeves · Legend Lives On [2005]
Each time you leave I die a little
Say I'm foolish if you will
But no matter how I try
Each time you say goodbye
My foolish heart just won't be still.
Each time you leave I die a little
I'm so afraid I'll lose you dear
Hold me and say
That you'll always stay
I only live when you are near.
--- Instrumental ---
Each time you leave I die a little
Say I'm foolish if you will
But no matter how I try
Each time you say goodbye
My foolish heart just won't be still.
Each time you leave I die a little
I'm so afraid I'll lose you dear
Hold me and say
That you'll always stay
I only live when you are near...
