If you leave
Don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our sides
Now, it's fading fast
Every second, every moment
We've got to
We've gotta make it last

I touch you once
I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now
Like I needed you then
You always said
We'd still be friends someday

If you leave
I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But, if you leave
Don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to
You've gotta say you will

I touch you once
I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now
Like I needed you then
You always said
We'd meet again

I touch you once
I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now
Like I needed you then
You always said
We'd still be friends

I touch you once
I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now
Like I needed you then
You always said
We'd meet again someday

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If you leave (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, if you leave (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, if you leave (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't look back (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't look back (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
If you leave (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
