The Heart You Left Behind - Jimmie Dale Gilmore/The Flatlanders

作词：Angela Strehli

作曲：Angela Strehli

You told me that this time you are leavin'

To beg you to stay would be a crime

I'd hoped you would give us another chance to love

But I won't try to make you change your mind

Love is not easy and time will take its toll

But what good is life if we must live alone

One day you'll be missin' the heart you left behind

So I won't try to make you change your mind

It's not the lonely nights ahead that bother me

Or knowin' I won't want nobody else

But knowin' you won't be happy without everything you need

Yes I know it just like I know myself

Love is not easy and time will take its toll

But what good is life if we must live alone

One day you'll be wantin' a sweetheart and a friend

So I'll see you when you come home again

Oh yes I'll see you when you come home again
