Don't Leave Me Lyrics - Perry Como

The willow weeps 

and having wept 

can weep no more 

but still it cries for me 

it cries in sympathy 

it knows that you are gone . . . 

don't leave me baby! 

There was a time 

when you were mine 

an' not so long ago 

I used to say 

you'd never go away 

you'd never leave me lonely . . . 

don't leave me baby! 

Think about the happy times 

the groovy times 

don't tell me they are gone 

I just can't carry on an' 

and know that you're not here 

you're not near 

anymore . . . 

Don't leave me baby 

things are gonna work out fine 

don't leave me baby 

think I'm goin' outta my mind 

don't leave me baby 

don't leave me behind! 

( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! 

Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! ) 

( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! 

Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! ) 

The willow weeps 

and having wept 

can weep no more 

but still it cries for me 

it cries in sympathy 

it knows that you are gone . . . 

It cries for me . . . 

( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! 

Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! ) 

. . . the willow weeps!
