Please don't take my sweetheart away

It's four in the morning
as I'm waiting here now
The sky is so cloudy and grey
I sit next to my heart who is so quiet now
I'm praying for one more day
she's been with me through the lean years
the good and the bad
Please don't take my sweetheart away
Please don't take my sweetheart away

The rain's Coming down
as I weep here in silence
The sky seems so lonesome today
there's just me and my heart
and the moon starring down
as I wait for an answer I pray
have pity have mercy for what I am asking,
Please don't take my sweetheart away
No please don't take my sweetheart away

She's been with me through the lean years
the good and the bad
She was my sunlight my day
She promised she'd watch me
turn grey so I'm asking,
Please don't take my sweetheart away
Please don't take my sweetheart away

Now all of my memories
are there all around her
With all of my heart I do pray
Without her the sun just break the horizon
My body would return to the clay
Without her my life wouldn't' be worth livin'
Please don't take my sweetheart away
Please don't take my sweetheart away

She's been with me through the lean years
the good and the bad
She was my sunlight my day
She promised she'd watch me turn grey so I'm asking,
Please don't take my sweetheart away
Please don't take my sweetheart away
No please don't take my sweetheart away
