Story Behind The Song
I just wanted to write a Love song, yet that reminded us of Lena Horne Era OF Jazz.
Song Description
There was just a love song growing within my mind, that comes from the 1940 jazz era. i remember thinking, how am i gonna get the music, that will bring this song to life. i had written the song, without music. i was working with an awesome band at the time, i just wanted this song to be big. so I had concerns about the steps towards original composition. however, the magic was real. the song just came to life. "Don't Walk Away" is a step back in time. yet, with a modern feel. Enjoy!

Lyrics
If I never loved you,
If I didnt care,
If I up and left you,
Then would your love be there,
I know i've made mistakes in my lIfe,
No excuse makes it right,
but i just wont give up the fight,
For Love, Love, LOve, LOVE, Love, Love, Love ya, Love ..
My friends Say that I,
will try ,y whole life,
to find that, lover for me,
to find that lover for me,
when if love grows like an apple tree,
then i must wait, patiently
(HOOK)
DONT WALK AWAY, DONT WALK AWAY, DONT WALK AWAY FROM ME
DONT WALK AAWAY, DONT WALK AWAY, DONT WALK AWAY FROM ME,
DONT WALK AWAY, DONT WALK AWAY, DONT WALK AWAY FROM ME,
DONT YOU WALK AWAY..
2ND VERSE)
Now, where will I go,
what must i do,
If this love i feel,
isn't meant for you
how could you give this love away,
what must I do, what must I say
to keep you with me, yeah yeah
my friends say that I,
will try my whole life,
to find that lover for me,
to find that lover for me
if love grows like an apple tree,
then i must wait,
patiently
(HOOK 2X)
