I Love You, Don't Leave Me*

When she was little,
Her mom had to go
"I love you, don't leave me!"
She said, eyes down low

As her mom walked out
She tried once again,
"I love you, don't leave me!"
But she didn't listen

When her mom left the lot,
The girl ran down the drive
"I love you, don't leave me!"
And she started to cry

But Mommy kept going
The girl sat alone
"I love you, don't leave me!"
With tears clearly shown

Now the girl's older
And in a new place
But she says, "I love you, don't leave me!"
To a brand new face

He was everything
But she made a mistake
"I love you, don't leave me!"
But it's too late
