How Could I Leave

How could I live?
How could I possibly go on?
If you should say goodbye
Just like a rose
If you don't water it every morn'
It thirsts and it dies

Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever leave me
If you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
I don't know just what I'd do
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do

It was a day
That man should leave his mother and cling
To the woman that he loves
I'm very sure
That I could never love anyone
The way I love you now

Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever leave me
If you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
I don't know just what I'd do
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do

It was a day
That man should leave his mother and cling
To the woman that he loves
I'm very sure
That I could never love anyone
The way I love you now

Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever leave me
If you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
I don't know just what I'd do
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
