DON'T LET ME GO
(Jacques Revaux / M Jourdan / E Montry / Norman Newell)


as recorded by Vic Damone
1969


I can see you have stars in your eyes for a love that is new.
I can see you believe what you say when you say we are through.
What of me, am I yesterday's dream that is over today?
I don't know what will come of my life if you send me away!

Don't let me go,
I'll lose my way without you by my side.
Don't let me go,
Let me stay, let me stay, oh my love let me stay!

Why say goodbye to a beautiful dream that we made all our own?
Go your way just as long as one day, you'll come running back home!
Don't think of this as just one of those things, just a passing affair,
For one day you'll return when you know that your heart really cares!

Don't let me go,
I'll lose my way without you by my side.
Don't let me go,
Let me stay, let me stay, oh my love let me stay!

I recall all the world that was ours from the day that we met.
After all, when you love like I love, could you ever forget?
Maybe I should be stronger than this, I should leave you and then
Spend my life longing just for your arms to embrace me again!

Don't let me go,
I'll lose my way without you by my side.
Don't let me go,
Let me stay, let me stay, oh my love let me stay!

Don't let me go,
I'll lose my heart without you by my side.
Don't let me go,
Let me stay, let me stay, oh my love let me stay,
Oh my love let me stay! Let me stay!
Oh let me stay...
