Arnie Johnston, Jacques Brel - Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas) lyrics

Please don't go away for you must forget
All you can forget all that's blown away
Please forget the times we misunderstood
All the explanations that did no good
Please forget the times when simple why
And single breaths still the heart of joy

Don't leave me don't leave me
Don't leave me don't leave me

I will offer you all the pearls of the rain
From a faraway plain where rain nеver falls
I will dig in the earth by day and by night
To covеr your body in golden and light
I will make you a land
Where love will be king
Where love will be law and you will be queen

Please don't go away please don't go away
Please don't go away please don't go away

Please don't go away and I will invent
Senseless language meant
Just to make you stay i will tell you tales
Of those lovers who by the fire again
Of a love man's true tell you of the King
Who you never knew but who died alone
Wanting only you

Don't leave me don't leave me
Don't leave me don't leave me

When a mountain that's dead
Can awake with a start
And pour out it's heart (With) Fire so red
When a desolate waste grows healthier grain
Than a field that is graced
By a soft April rain
And because when the sun
Sinks down in a blaze red maples with black
In a deepening haze

Please don't go away please don't go away
Please don't go away please don't go away

Please don't go away i will weep no more
I will speak no more i will hide away
Just to watch you dance
Just to see you smile
Hear you sing and laugh for a little while
Let me be your shadow from more than far
A shadow of your hand a shadow of your dog
Don't leave me don't leave me
Don't leave me don't leave me

Don't leave me don't leave me
Don't leave me don't leave me
