Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's nothing else I'm thinking ofI need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely manThere will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty spaceI need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely manWhen she came to me and opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me, I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone, I can't go onWhen she came to me and opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me, I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone and I can't go on
Just can't go on
