Don't Leave Me - Lyrics - Harry Nilsson

Harry Edward Nilsson III , usually credited as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. He is known for the hit singles "Everybody's Talkin'" , "Without You" , and "Coconut" . Nilsson also wrote the song "One" made famous by the rock band Three Dog Night. He was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours.

The willow weeps And having wept Can weep no more But still it cries for me It cries in sympathy It knows that you are gone Don't leave me baby! There was a time When you were mine An' not so long ago I used to say You'd never go away You'd never leave me lonely Don't leave me baby! Think about the happy times The groovy times Don't tell me they are gone I just can't carry on an' And know that you're not here You're not near Anymore Don't leave me baby Things are gonna work out fine Don't leave me baby Think I'm goin' outta my mind Don't leave me baby Don't leave me behind! (Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!) (Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!) The willow weeps And having wept Can weep no more But still it cries for me It cries in sympathy It knows that you are gone It cries for me (Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!) The willow weeps!
