LET ME LOVE YOU ONCE BEFORE YOU GO
(Steve Dorff / Molly Leikin)

Recorded by: Barbara Fairchild; Greg Lake; Dusty Springfield.


It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover, one man's wife

But you can start a fire raging just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh, I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst?

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me, so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Oh my darling, please come over here

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

No one's ever gonna love you more than me

It's like lookin' in the window of a fine boutique
Knowin' there is nothin' I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover, one man's wife

But you can start a fire ragin' just by touchin' me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh, I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep sayin' yes to me, so don't keep sayin' no
Let me love you once and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Oh, my darlin', please come over here

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep sayin' yes to me, so don't keep sayin' no
Let me love you once and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me
No one's ever gonna love you more than me
