You left this morning on an early plane
You left your picture behind to haunt me
You left in a steady rain
You say you'll miss me, you say you want me

I'm left this morning with a world of doubt
I'm left this morning indecently exposed
So much we never did talk about
And your kiss goodbye, said the case is closed

I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose the best love
That I've ever found
Don't want to lose you
Why didn't I cry when you said goodbye
Why didn't I break down, break down and say
I don't want to lose you

We met last night in a public place
And your new lover was just across the street
But, tears washed across your face
Girl, I wanted to hold you close to me

I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose the best love
That I've ever found
Don't want to lose you
Why didn't I cry when you said goodbye
Why didn't I break down, break down

I remember all the things that we did
The warmth of your smile
And your tender touch
I always knew I cared about you girl
I just didn't know how much

I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose the best love
That I've ever found
Don't want to lose you
Why didn't I cry when you said goodbye
Why didn't I break down

Repeat
