Lyrics:

1989
Skip Ewing, Don Sampson

He held her in his arms that first September
And it scared them both to finally go that far
But all night long they talked about forever
And they couldn't hide the feelins in their hearts
He said, 'I don't wanta spend tonight alone.
But its late and I really should get home.'

And she said, 'Please, please don't leave me now.
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
I don't wanta let you go
I know its love we found
Please, please don't leave me now.'

With wedding bells still ringing in his memory
A baby cried with her first breath of life
And he stood beside the bed with his new family
And brushed away a pain drop from her eye
She said, 'Don't worry, hon, I'm just a little weak.'
He said, 'Close your eyes and try to get some sleep.'

And she said, 'Please, please don't leave me now.
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
I need a little strength from you
God, you look so proud
Please, please don't leave me now.'

That night as she lay burnin with a fever
He held her hand and never gave up hope
He said, 'God, I'm sure you now how much I need her.'
Then he whispered just before her fever broke.

Please, please don't leave me now.'
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
God, if you've been listenin, let her hear these words somehow
Please, please don't leave me now
Oh, please, please don't leave me now
