1968 demo released on the Jewel Box collection in 2020.
Music: | Elton John |
Lyrics: | Bernie Taupin |
Producer: | Caleb Quaye |
Why can't you see the tears I'm crying now
I can't get along without you anyhow
I keep changing your mind trying to make you stay
Don't leave me tomorrow, don't leave me today
I don't want to be without you, I'm afraid to stand alone
I'm a man without a mountain, like a king without a throne
I keep changing your mind trying to make you stay
Don't leave me tomorrow, don't leave me today
chorus:
I'm on my own, on my own
And I'm trying to hold on to a love that's dying
Saving my strength for the start of my crying
Trying to hold on to something that's gone
And it's better for me to forget you
I don't want to see your face baby before you go
For if you stand before me, I'm sure to let you know
I keep changing your mind trying to make you stay
Don't leave me tomorrow, don't leave me today
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
