I've been watching you all evening
With the teardrops in your eyes

And it touches me more than I can say.

Could have hurt someone like

And at times like this I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
F#7 B
Oh, why did you have to leave so soon?

How long must I wait
For the last train to leave here

How long, honey
When the lovin' don't come

It was there when you left me

Just didn't know how to begin (ah-oh)
