Lyrics
Since you’ve been gone
I shut my eyes
And I fantasize
That you’re here with me
Will you ever return?
I want you satisfide
‘Till you’re by my side
Don’t wait any longer
Why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why dont you come back?
Please hurry
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
You said goodbye
I was trying to hide
What I felt inside
Until you passed me by
You said you’d return
You said that you’d be mine
‘Till the end of time
Don’t wait any longer!
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why dont you come back?
Please hurry
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Since you’ve been gone…
Opened my eyes
And I realize
What we had together
Will you ever return?
I’ll have you change your mind
If you won’t stay mine
Just love me forever!
love me forever
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry!
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Don’t ever leave me
