LEAVING IT ALL
(Dave Howman)


Eve Graham - 1980





So many times I've tried to make you love me
Many times I've stood right here, my face against the wall
Hopin' that you'd find a way to love me
I know I can't compete with your friends who've seen it all
Day after day I've had to play your game, now it's over
It's over

I'm leavin' it all and I'm goin' away
Too many words, yet nothing to say
Leavin' it all, only mem'ries remain
It could've been lovely

I'll hide away my dreams and hopes unspoken
I never really thought that we would end it all this way
And if there was the slightest chance, I'd take it
But all the years I've spent with you mean nothing, so you say
So many lies have opened my eyes, but now it's over
It's over

I'm leavin' it all and I'm goin' away
Too many words, yet nothing to say
Leavin' it all, only mem'ries remain
It could've been lovely

I'm leavin' it all and I'm goin' away
Too many words, yet nothing to say
Leavin' it all, only mem'ries remain
It could've been lovely
Could've been lovely
