(Spanish Guitar Intro)
I saw you leaving without a word
Silence louder than I’ve ever heard
A thousand dreams fell from your eyes
And disappeared with your goodbye
Wisdom whispers through the passing years
Not every love withstands the tears
Some hearts are fleeting some betray
And nothing keeps the world at bay
Hold your pride let anger fade
The choices made cannot be swayed
Those who abandon do not return
From every loss a soul will learn
Leave don’t turn back
No love anymore we break
Leave don’t turn back
I feel better without your mistakes
Leave don’t turn back
No tears left for me to fake
Leave don’t turn back
This heart is free wide awake
Leave don’t turn back
The story ends another starts
Leave don’t turn back
What’s gone is gone from my heart
Old folks say as the years roll by
Not every tear needs a why
Some will leave and some will stay
That’s the way of life they say
I’ve seen the rich I’ve seen the poor
I’ve watched hearts walk out the door
You can’t hold sand within your hand
What’s meant to go won’t understand
Leave don’t turn back
The old man said “Let it be ”
Leave don’t turn back
What’s gone today was never free
Leave don’t turn back
The river flows into the sea
Leave don’t turn back
Life keeps turning endlessly
Leave don’t turn back
The story ends another starts
Leave don’t turn back
What’s gone is gone from my heart
