I Tried to Leave You - Live
I tried to leave you
I will not deny
I closed the book on us
Least 100 times
Now I wake up each and every morning by your side
The years go by
You lose your pride
Your little baby's crying now
So you do not go outside
And all your work, it's right here
Right before your eyes
Mr. Bob Metzger on the electric guitar and steel guitar
You tried to leave me
So don't deny it
You closed the book, you closed the book
You closed the book on us
At least 100 times
But you still wake up every morning
Right by my side
Miss Perla Batalla, vocalist
Mr. Tom McMorran on the keyboards
Mr. Bobby Furgo on the violin
Years go by
Years and years and years and years go by
And I lost my pride
So my baby's crying
My little baby's crying
My baby's crying
So I do not go outside
And all my work
Is right before my eyes
Miss Julie Christensen, vocalist
Mr. Steve Zirkel on the bass
Goodnight, my darling
I hope you're satisfied
The bed is kind of narrow
But my arms, my arms
My arms are open wide
And here's a man and he's still working
Working for your smile
I will not deny
I closed the book on us
Least 100 times
Now I wake up each and every morning by your side
The years go by
You lose your pride
Your little baby's crying now
So you do not go outside
And all your work, it's right here
Right before your eyes
Mr. Bob Metzger on the electric guitar and steel guitar
You tried to leave me
So don't deny it
You closed the book, you closed the book
You closed the book on us
At least 100 times
But you still wake up every morning
Right by my side
Miss Perla Batalla, vocalist
Mr. Tom McMorran on the keyboards
Mr. Bobby Furgo on the violin
Years go by
Years and years and years and years go by
And I lost my pride
So my baby's crying
My little baby's crying
My baby's crying
So I do not go outside
And all my work
Is right before my eyes
Miss Julie Christensen, vocalist
Mr. Steve Zirkel on the bass
Goodnight, my darling
I hope you're satisfied
The bed is kind of narrow
But my arms, my arms
My arms are open wide
And here's a man and he's still working
Working for your smile
