And you would always be there
     in everything I'd do,
     but the fool that I am
     never tried to understand
     when you needed someone
     to help you through the rain.
     But this child inside of me
     never let me feel your pain.
 

     Oh, how I've let it all just slip away,
     and now I wish for yesterday.
 

     Don't you go on your own,
     don't leave me all alone,
     and I'll be there, yes I swear,
     when you need me I'll be there,
     don't you go.
 

                                           You've been my inspiration
                                           all along the way,
                                           but I can see it in your eyes
                                           there is no more yesterday.
                                           But I will find a way back,
                                           no matter what it takes.
                                           For the first time I can see
                                           the love you lost on me.
                                           And now I've let it all just slip away
                                           But the fool, the fool's inside of me.
 

                                           Don't you go on your own,
                                           don't leave me all alone,
                                           and I'll be there, yes I swear,
                                           when you need me I'll be there,
                                           don't you go.
