Lyrics Shirley Horn

Shirley Horn

Never Let Me Go

Never let me go,

Love me much too much,

If you let me go

Life would lose its touch.

What would I be without you?

There's no place for me without you!

Never let me go,

I'd be lost if you went away;

There would be

A thousand hours a day,

Without you, I know.

Because of one caress

My world was overturned,

At the very start

All my bridges burned

By my flaming heart!

You'd never leave me, would you?

You couldn't hurt me, could you?

Never let me go,

Never never never let me go!

What would I be without you?

There's no place for me without you!

Never let me go,

I'd be so lost if you went away;

There would be

A thousand hours in a day,

Without you, I know.

Because of one caress

My world was overturned,

At the very start

All my bridges burned

By my flaming heart!

You'd never leave me, would you?

You couldn't hurt me, could you?

Never let me go,

Never let me go,

Never never never never never let me go!
