The nights are wearing me down And it's hard getting through the day 'cause I need you right now And right now you're so faraway I guess I should have known That I'd end up this way But I swear I'll come home And then nothing will drag me away Don't you ever leave me baby Don't you ever leave me now Don't you ever leave me baby If you leave me you will kill me now Now that some much time has passed I know that this love of ours will last forever 'cause we feel it, take it, hold it and believe it You need me like I need you I know you do, I'm sure you do The lights are slowly going down On Lexington Avenue And me, I'm all alone feeling the tears falling down from my eyes A subway train is passing by Driving into the Darkness I jump inside 'cause I ain't got nowhere to sleep tonight Don't you ever leave me baby Don't you ever leave me now Don't you ever leave me baby If you leave me you will kill me now I was forcing myself just walk through the day When all I really wanted to do was curl up in a corner and cry Nothing had any meaning And I just thought let's give it another day and see if anything happens Then you came along like my own ray of sunshine Made me feel warm, safe and alive again
