Lyrics
It's a golden afternoon
Like a day from a better time
But the leaves are falling still
These nights are colder now
Your words keep lingering
They're hanging on the air
Won't you please come back to me?
You're not the same as you used to be
Won't you please come back to me?
I watched you walk away
I watched you leave
I keep looking for a way inside
But it's so hard for you to let me in
This much is true
I wanted the best for you
The best for you in all this world
You threw it all away
Won't you please come back to me?
You're not the same as you used to be
Won't you please come back to me?
I watched you walk away
I watched you leave
And now you're gone
But it's so hard to let you go
You're moving on
Where will you go?
Where will you go?
Won't you please come back to me?
You're not the same as you used to be
Won't you please come back to me?
I watched you walk away
I watched you leave
Won't you please come back to me?
Won't you please come back to me?
