I DON'T WANT  YOU TO GO
(Allee Willis / Bruce Roberts)


Lani Hall - 1980



Here I am alone and I don't understand
Exactly how it all began
The dream just walked away, I'm holdin' on
When all but the passion's gone

And from the start maybe I was tryin' too hard
It's crazy, 'cause it's breakin' my heart
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go

And heroes die when they ignore the cause inside
But they learned from what's left behind
And fight for something else, and so it goes
That we have both learned how to grow

And from the start maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy, 'cause it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go

Oh, it's just too much takin' on the whole world all by myself
For there's nothin' now
Unless I start trustin' somebody else
Somebody else, and love again

And from the start maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy, 'cause it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go

Maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy, 'cause it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go

Oh no, I don't want you to go
Say that you won't go
