Lyrics

VERSE
I want to put this guitar down and take her softly by the hand
She’s been coming here all week and I still don’t understand
Why she’s dancing with her shadow all by herself
Seems like she’s looking hard for somebody else

CHORUS
(So I’ll) (We should) leave her alone; she has gone to another place
Something is wrong, but she seems very strong; amazing grace
She might talk to me some time but that time isn’t now
So I’ll leave her alone; I’m just not sure how

TURNAROUND/VERSE
Excuse me, sir, before you ask her to dance
There’s something you should know
I’ve been watching her all week
She’s waiting for someone to show
When we play a love song, lonely teardrops fill her eyes
So I don’t think this is a good time to try

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I know she will not be there forever
And I know when she returns, I’ll be here

Repeat CHORUS/TURNAROUND/TAG
I'm just not sure how
No, I don’t know how I could leave her alone
How could I leave her alone?
