lyrics

If I had a little company tonight
There'd be a chance I'd see your face
And then I know I'd be alright

If I had to pick a day to leave behind
That'd be the day you walk away
'Cause that's the day I lose my mind

My love, don't go

So I'll take this opportunity to say
All of the things I never said to you
That just stayed safely tucked away
In a long forgotten corner of my mind
But now you're here
Don't disappear
Because I won't be left behind

My love, don't go

If I had a little confidence I'm sure
There'd be a chance I'd be myself
And not some pale caricature

If I had to pick a way to see your face
I'd choose to live a thousand years
And be with you in outer space

My love, don't go

So I'll take this opportunity to say
All of the things I never said to you
'Cause I simply couldn't find a way
To articulate the meaning in my head
But now you're gone
I'd carry on
Except I'd rather I had said

My love, don't go

On the day
You went away
My sky turned grey
And I couldn't say
That all the compliments I pay
Could make you stay
Your mind won't sway

And if I may
I'll kneel and pray
Though it's a little Monterey
If it's okay
I'll sit and play
This song for you
I'll sit and play this song for you

My love, don't go
