Not too long ago when she was mine I thought we would be together 'til the end of time That's the way it goes when you're in love Since she's gone there's no one else I'm thinking of I need her to stay with me Lay me down and pray for me Now I know just where I stand Heaven help this lonely man There will never be anyone else Never be another one to take her place Might as well give up, I can't go on Never find another one to fill this empty space I need her to stay with me Lay me down and pray for me Now I know just where I stand Heaven help this lonely man When she came to me she opened my eyes Suddenly life was worth living Now it's over for me I realize Nothing's the same since she's gone And I can't go on When she came to me she opened my eyes Suddenly life was worth living Now it's over for me I realize Nothing's the same since she's gone And I can't go on
