Without Her Leaving

(album: Getting Dressed In The Dark - 2010)

Somewhere tonight
I hope shes getting treated right
I know she likes a nice red wine
Its been so longs since I I I've
Had the chance to know her
Had the chance to hold her
Because I never did
When I had the chance

I wish I could Love her
Without leaving
Wish I could pay attention more
Without her walking out the door
Wish I could want her
Like I do now that shes gone
Wish I could give her all the love
She left here dreaming of
Someday ...
Without her leavin.

And still I dont know why
I fall in love at goodbye
Her only crime with me was
Spending time with me because
She wanted to hold me
She wasn't trying to control me
Only when she'd walk away
Would I give a glance

I wish I could Love her
Without leaving
Wish I could pay attention more
Without her walking out the door
Wish I could want her
Like I do now that shes gone
Wish I could give her all the love
She left here dreaming of
Someday ...
Without her leavin.

She must have tried
A hundred times
And I saw her cry so many more
Gone when your here
Here when your gone
I cant be both
Its either or

I wish I could love her
Without her leavin
That I could have paid attention more
She'd be walking in this door
I wish I could want her
Like I do now that shes gone
Wish I could give her all the love
She left here dreaming of
Someday ...
Without her leavin
