If You Must Leave, Please Go Slowly Lyrics

If you must leave, please go slowly

Come place your hand upon my cheek

I'll still be wondering how I ever drove you away

Mama was wrong about you

You weren't short of perfect

My eyes still wander hoping that they'll find you again

I spy silhouettes of you on your favorite couch; curled up and warm

I still smell your favorite perfume etched on my pillowcases; it was my norm

If you must leave, please go slowly

Take a quick glance back at me

Like in those movies we'd watch because I wanted to

Lover, you're gonna go places

Find all the joy that you deserve

I'll be here hoping that everything good comes straight to you

I spy silhouettes of you on your favorite couch; curled up and warm

I still smell your favorite perfume etched on my pillowcases; it was my norm

If you must leave, please go slowly

And please prepare to be a song
