Lyrics
Come Back To Me
Darling, forever it seemed to me
We'd be together, love endlessly
But then you left me, ooh, you left me
Standing alone, yeah
All on my own, yeah
Bright days departed, dark days arrived
Tears of despair fall from my eyes
Won't you forgive me, ooh, forgive me
Girl won't you come
Come back to me, oh my darling
Since you've been gone life has no meaning
It's just an empty shell
I've been living in a dark, dark world
Since you've been gone I have no reason
To carry on, no, no, no
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Misunderstandings, they'll come around
Things that bring sorrow and make you frown
But why give up girl, ooh, and quit girl
And walk away, yeah
Why don't you stay, yeah
Whatever problems we can work out
If we but try we'll win do doubt
Won't you forgive me, ooh, forgive me
Girl won't you come
Come back to me, oh my darling
Since you've been gone life has no meaning
It's just an empty shell
I've been living in a dark, dark world
Since you've been gone I have no reason
To carry on, no, no, no
Girl won't you come
Come back to me, oh my darling
