“She’s Leaving”
(A.J. Foti, E. Blackwood)

She turned to me and said, she turned to me and said,
She’s leaving…
She has to go away, to make her life some other way,
She’s leaving…
It’s not like this hasn’t happened before,
It’s not like a woman hasn’t walked out the door,
She’s leaving, she’s leaving, she’s leaving…

She told me, “Honey, this is what I must do,
To make my future happiness shine through,”
She’s leaving, she’s leaving…
And what can I do to make you stay?
What can I do to brighten your day?
You’re leaving, she’s leaving…
And I only have days to make you see,
That your life would be better with me,
You’re leaving, she’s leaving, she’s leaving…

And the clock’s running out, and the time’s growing short,
And you’re packing your bags; I can see the airport,
You put your hands in my chest and you pulled out my heart,
And for you to put it back, please stay, Sweetheart…
Sweetheart… Sweetheart… Sweetheart… Sweetheart…

It’s wrong for me to keep her here; she needs to make her life elsewhere,
She’s leaving, she’s leaving…
Sometimes I think it’s all a dream, I’ll wake and find you here with me,
You’re leaving, she’s leaving…
My Lady, my blessing I give to you, but I wish to God it wasn’t true,
You’re leaving, she’s leaving… She’s leaving, she’s leaving…
She’s leaving, she’s leaving… She’s leaving, she’s leaving…

And the clock’s running out, and the time’s growing short,
Sweetheart…
