He held her in his arms
That first September
And it scared them both
To finally go that far
But all night long
They talked about forever
And they couldn't hide
The feelings in their hearts

He said,"I don't want to spend tonight alone"
But it's late, and I really should get home

Chorus:
And she said
Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please
Please don't leave me now
I don't wanna let you go
I know it's love we've found
Please, please don't leave me now

The wedding bells are still ringing in his memory
A baby cried
With her first breath of life
And he stood beside the bed
With his new family
And brushed away a pain drop from her eye

She said, Don't worry hon,
I'm just a little weak"
And he said, close your eyes
And try to get some sleep

Chorus:
And she said
Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please
Please don't leave me now
I need a little bit of strenght from you
Gosh, you look so proud
Please, please don't leave me now

At night she lay burning with a fever
He held her hand
Got on his knees and prayed
Then he brought the baby close
So she could see her
And he cried out
As he felt her slip away

Chorus:
Please, please don't leave me now
Oh please, please don't leave me now
God if you've been listing
And you hear these words somehow
Please, please don't leave me now
Oh please, please don't leave me now
