The Heart You Left Behind Lyrics

(Angela Strehli)

You told me that this time you are leavin'
To beg you to stay would be a crime
I'd hoped you would give us another chance to love
But I won't try to make you change your mind

[Chorus]
Love is not easy and time will take its toll
But what good is life if we must live alone
One day you'll be missin' the heart you left behind
So I won't try to make you change your mind

It's not the lonely nights ahead that bother me
Or knowin' I won't want nobody else
But knowin' you won't be happy without everything you need
Yes I know it just like I know myself

Love is not easy and time will take its toll
But what good is life if we must live alone
One day you'll be wantin' a sweetheart and a friend
So I'll see you when you come home again

Oh yes I'll see you when you come home again
