Don't ever take yourself away Don't ever take yourself to A place where i can't find you. Don't ever take yourself away I will never leave you Will never deceive you I'll be right there walkin' behind you. Dearest, i think you're the one I can't imagine Anybody doin' More to me than you do. Dearest, if it's your heart that i won There's no need for blame And no reason to be ashamed Of that place where we stand in the sun. Don't ever take yourself away Don't ever take yourself to A place where i can't find you. Don't ever take yourself away I will never leave you I will never deceive you I'll be right there walkin' behind you. Dearest, let us not drift apart It wouldn't be wise It wouldn't be civilized It wouldn't be smart. Time heals a broken heart You've been hurt You've been left in the dirt But you still look brand new to me. Don't ever take yourself away Don't ever take yourself to A place where i can't find you. Don't ever take yourself away I will never leave you I will never deceive you I'll be right there walkin' behind you. Dearest, you're the answer to my prayers Words can't express If my heart would confess What you mean to me. Dearest, i can't help knowin' that you're the best I don't have to feel You to know that you're real You're more than a dream to me. Don't ever take yourself away Don't ever take yourself to A place where i can't find you. Don't ever take yourself away I will never leave you I will never deceive you I'll be right there walking behind you.
