Don't Leave Me Now I'm In Love

Lisa Stansfield · Face Up [2001]

Come and sit a while with me and talk

I need to have a word before you walk

Just before you go let me explain

That I love you



I know that this may come as a surprise

How do you think I felt when I realised?

It hit me like a bolt out of the sky

That I love you



You said that you were moving on

Come Saturday that you'd be gone

I thought of life without you and I cried

So finally I know who I

Am gonna love for all my life

So say you'll be mine

Please say I can change your mind



Don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love

Don't walk away from something that could have been so good

Don't leave, don't leave me now I know

I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above

Don't leave now I'm in love



Looking back on all the opportunity

I didn't have a clue that the girl was me

So listen to me now that things have changed

I love you



So suddenly my fate is sealed

'Cos only can make it real

So say you'll be mine

Please say I can change your mind



So don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love

Don't walk away from something that could have been so good

Don't leave, don't leave me now I know

I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above

Don't leave now I'm in love



Give me a chance to hold close 'cos...

I wanna feel that you're a part of me

Know how it feels to love you tenderly

Know that I'll never have to let you go

Don't leave me now I know

Don't leave me now I'm sure

Don't leave now I'm in love
