Lyrics
Don't Let Go
Author Denis Hackett
Verse 1
You brought the light into to my life
Your smile makes dark clouds disappear
My days are bright and skies are blue
And it's all because of you
Verse 2
But lately it seemed like you're so far away
And why were you crying just yesterday
I can see in your eyes that something ain't right
But I just can't believe that you're leaving tonight
Chorus
Don't let go babe, stay with me
I need your love, don't set me free
I know there were times when I let you down
I know I'm the reason that your love is leaving town
Verse 3
I should have tried a little harder to show you that I care
I should have found a way to tell you I'd be there
I can't stop the feeling that I caused you pain
Now everything is gone on the midnight train
Chorus
Don't let go babe, stay with me
I need your love, don't set me free
I know there were times when I let you down
I know I'm the reason that your love is leaving town
Bridge
You only see the stars when you're looking to the sky
If you look in the wrong places then those stars will pass you by
I should have taken time to realize just what I'd found
Now I see what could have been, but you won't be around
Chorus
Don't let go babe, stay with me
I need your love, don't set me free
I know there were times when I let you down
I know I'm the reason that your love is leaving town
