If You Must Leave, Please Go Slowly

If you must leave, please go slowly
Come place your hand upon my cheek
I'll still be wondering how I ever drove you away

Mama was wrong about you
You weren't short of perfect
My eyes still wander hoping that they'll find you again

I spy silhouettes of you on your favorite couch; curled up and warm
I still smell your favorite perfume etched on my pillowcases; it was my norm

If you must leave, please go slowly
Take a quick glance back at me
Like in those movies we'd watch because I wanted to

Lover, you're gonna go places
Find all the joy that you deserve
I'll be here hoping that everything good comes straight to you

I spy silhouettes of you on your favorite couch; curled up and warm
I still smell your favorite perfume etched on my pillowcases; it was my norm

If you must leave, please go slowly
And please prepare to be a song
