I don't like what I'm seein',
'Cause I can tell that you're leavin'
I knew havin' your love was too good to be true.
I won't try to keep you from going,
You're like a river that has to keep flowing,
But before you leave, there's somethin' I want you to do...
Write me a love song.
Sing it to me all night long,
Weave it from moonbeams and starlight,
A song about sweet things, so I can have sweet dreams,
And something to cling to through the long, lonely night.
Thought maybe times'd get better,
And we'd live a love song together,
But now I see it just wasn't meant to be.
So if I only knew how,
I'd write a love song for you right now.
But since I can't, won't you write one for me?
Write me a love song.
Sing it to me all night long,
Weave it from moonbeams and starlight,
A song about sweet things,
So I can have sweet dreams,
And something to cling to through the long, lonely night.
You don't have to say a word to try and tell me why,
There's nothing that I want you to explain,
(There is nothing to explain)
I can make it through the lonely nights
And all the tears I've cried,
If you'll just leave me a pretty song to sing.
So write me a love song,
Sing it to me all night long,
Weave it from moonbeams and starlight,
A song about sweet things,
So I can have sweet dreams,
And something to cling to through the long, lonely night.
Won't you write me a love song?
Sing it to me all night long,
Weave it from moonbeams and starlight,
A song about sweet things,
So I can have sweet dreams,
And something to cling to through the long, lonely night.
Leave me something to cling to through the long
Lonely night.
