Don't Stay Away To Long

Eddie Fisher · Other Songs - Eddie Fisher

It's time that you were going

And there's no way of knowing

How long we'll be apart

Wherever life may lead you

Remember how I need you

Keep our love locked in your heart,



Jet plane flying high above me

Don't stay away too long

Come back darling, say you love me

Don't stay away too long

Tell me you'll be thinking of me

Each time you hear this song



We'll love again, some other day

Don't stay away too long



I miss you every minute

My world without you in it

Is such an empty place

When days bring rainy weather

As long as we're together

There is nothing we can't face

Don't Stay Away To Long
