I know you're leaving me behind

I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time

Show a little tenderness before you go

Please let me feel your embrace once more



Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while

Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while

We all must feel heartache sometime

Right now, right now, now, I'm feeling mine



I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able

I'm like a helpless child wrapped in a cradle

Let me know joy before I grieve

Just once more, darling, before you leave



Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while

Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while

I'm losing you and my happiness

My life is over, I must confess



I'll never, never see your smiling face no more

I'll never, never hear your knock on my door

Before you leave me, leave me behind

Please let me feel happy just one more time



Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while

Hold me darling, and rock me, rock me a little while



I said I never wouldn't beg, I said I wouldn't plead

Here I am, baby, begging you please

Baby, baby, please, baby, baby, please



Baby, take me in your arms

Come on and rock me, and rock me a little while

Hold me darling
