Joe Purdy - Ah-La Song lyrics
[Joe Purdy - Ah-La Song lyrics]
Sitting in a Dixon garden
Wishing that you and I weren't parting
For the last time, the last time and I said
"Why you want to get married anyway?
That man's got a family"
And then you say, "Couldn't
Wait on you forever, or could I?"
"Guess not"
There's an awkward silence for
The first time, so many years
And as I recall you used to be mine
Not some property of his
And I sing "Ah la don't go, ah la stay
Ah la don't go, don't go away"
"Maybe I should apologize
For I treated you so
And I'm so sorry that I left you here
I just wish I could have known"
You say, "You never can tell
And it's not your fault
See these things just happen
When you're dealing with
The hands on a clock of a woman"
"And he treats me fine
And anyways I'm getting older"
She said, "Oh but I still miss you sometimes
When the weather's getting colder"
And she sang "Ah la don't go, ah la stay
Ah la don't go, don't go away"
"Do we say goodbye, or just see you later?"
She said "Don't make me cry
'Cause it's enough just to know
That I won't ever hold you close
And I won't ever smell your skin
And I know how I'm supposed to feel
Here we go again singing, 'Ah la don't go
Ah la stay ah la don't go, don't go away'"
Wishing that you and I weren't parting
For the last time, the last time and I said
"Why you want to get married anyway?
That man's got a family"
And then you say, "Couldn't

"Guess not"
There's an awkward silence for
The first time, so many years
And as I recall you used to be mine
Not some property of his
And I sing "Ah la don't go, ah la stay
Ah la don't go, don't go away"
"Maybe I should apologize
For I treated you so
And I'm so sorry that I left you here
I just wish I could have known"
You say, "You never can tell
