lyrics

Don't turn back the love that's come to stay.
Sometimes in life, things don't turn out the way you planned,
you're makin' the wrong stand;
lettin' all the wrong things get in your way.
Don't turn back the love that's come to stay.

I know that you have been let down,
know you've been left alone.
I head that you once had king
who did abdicate the throne.
And I know that other lovers
have made you laugh, have made you cry;
you can tell yourself that leavin's right
(if you wanna tell a lie)

But don't turn back the love that's come to stay.
Sometimes in life, things don't turn out the way you planned:
you're makin' the wrong stand;
lettin' all the wrong things get in your way.
Don't turn back the love that's come to stay.

Your mind is like a labyrinth,
your heart twisted in knots.
Your back is busy lookin' out
for schemes and twists and plots.
And I know that other lovers
have brought you joy, brought you pain.
But I'll keep on to my tryin'
(even if my tryin' is in vain).

And those ever-changin' eyes of yours,
do they like what they see?
Have you ever felt as much at peace
as when you're lying next to me?
Reaching out to brush your cheek -
you're holding on to me.
Hard and gently guard your sleep -
you're holding on to me.
Holding on to me.
Holding on to me.
...don't you ever let go of me...

And don't turn back the love that's come to stay.
Sometimes in life, things don't turn out the way you planned,
you're makin' the wrong stand;
lettin' all the wrong things get in your way.
But don't turn back the love that's come to stay.
