Lyrics

The afternoon sun would fade
And soon we’d have to go
And everybody else would say good-bye
But she wanted me to know

She said
I don’t want to leave…
I don’t want to leave a hole in your heart
Yes I know

The fall and winter fling
In spring would turn to romance
But she could look ahead and see the end
While I could see a chance

And no one likes a love
That takes its time to lose
And sometimes the thing you want the most
Is that thing you couldn’t choose

But she said
I don’t want to leave
(I don’t want to leave a)
I don’t want to leave a hole in your heart
No I don’t want to leave
(I don’t want to leave a)
I don’t want to leave a hole in your heart

Yes I know it get’s hard
Semester ends and then the summer comes
You have to spend apart
That’s when time alone’s a wasted art
And weekends are gone before they start
And a summer day gets really dark

The decades have passed
Since I saw her last
But I still hear her say
Though she did not get her way

When she said
I don’t want to leave a hole in your heart
No I don’t want to leave
(I don’t want to leave a)
I don’t want to leave a hole in your heart
(Your heart)
I don’t want to leave
(I don’t want to leave a)
I don’t want to leave a hole in your heart
This hole in my heart
Is shaped like you
Yes I know
