Don't Go Now
Xavier Naidoo · Alles Gute Vor Uns [2009]
That I'll see your sweet smile
So please try not to cry
And please don't ask why
But you say
Don't go now
You say
Don't go now
You say
Stay some how
You say
Stay some how
This might be the last time
And I know that I
I need a long long while
To find a new shine, so fine
so close the last time
For most of our time
We were like red red wine
So define
But for the last time
You beg me please
Down on my knees ohoh
The way you make me feel
Is love so real, love so real
then he said to me
We can set our souls free
So please don't go away
Try to stay listen love and stay
Don't Go Now
