Lyrics
Chorus
Why didn’t you leave me years ago
Instead of leaving me now
Just when I need you most, you’re saying goodby
You’re not even telling me why
The day that I met you I could forget you
But things are diff’rent now, somehow
Just when I planned a happy wedding day
You have to break my heart by going away
Why didn’t you leave me years ago
Instead of leaving now
