Don't Wanna Leave You Now

Lyrics

I woke up a day late and a dollar short

Thank God I was wrapped up in your arms

I don't wanna read the morning news or watch the weather report

I'd rather be grateful for your charms

I've done a lot of things, baby

Woah, that didn't make me proud

Honey, I don't wanna leave you now

Last night, you said you looked up to me

Nowhere to hide, that's when I lose control

I kinda think it's like you see right through me

I got no clothes on when you're looking to my soul

I left my eardrums beating

Oh, with the roaring of the crowd

Honey, I don't wanna leave you now

I know I gotta go out and face the music

Gotta stand up and play

I'm lucky as hell to do what I love

But nothing lasts forever, baby

Not even the sun

Though you're the most beautiful one I could ever think of

Honey, I don't wanna leave you now

All this time, I've been coming and going

It's like I'm in and out of consciousness

I awaken from dreams sometimes without knowing

I'm really awake, or am I dreaming this?

Then I'm wrapped up in your arms

And a tear forms in a cloud

Crying 'cause I gotta leave you now

I'm crying 'cause I gotta leave you now

Baby, I gotta leave you now

Oh, I gotta leave you now

I'm crying 'cause I gotta leave you now

Baby, I gotta leave you now, leave you now

I gotta leave you now
