My baby left me and I cry
And I miss the way his hand felt in mine
He lay there so sweetly as I kissed his lips
I've never known such an angelic sigh
My baby left me what can I do
What solace is left in this solitude
Where is he now, can he hear these words
What can I turn all my sorrow into
I won't let him be taken from me
I won't let him die
I won't let him be taken from me
He's in my soul and my eyes
My baby left me and my heart is a mess
It's still dripping slowly from his faint caress
Dreams, nightmares, reality, a blur
And my anxious fingers on this tear-stained dress
My baby's gone, how can that be
My baby meant everything to me
I gotta hold onto the strength and the beauty
Your love made me see
I won't let you go, but I'll let it be
