saturday she left me, someday she’ll return
the crowd’s already gathered, to watch her memory burn
but something in me loves her and only god knows why
was it the way the autumn sunlight lit the emeralds in her eyes
every day she breaks me is the day i love her more
if she would stay
if she would stay
i’ve seen her with another, it happens all the time
and i know i’m not the father of that precious little child
the gold upon her finger matters less to her each day
i could never leave her, she’s the one life i would save
if she would stay, i’d never want another
she’s more than i could ever dream
if she would stay, my one and only lover
if only she could see
i’d never want another
she’s more than i could ever dream
my one and only lover
if only she could see me
if she would stay
i’d never want another
my one and only lover
she is more than I could ever dream
i’d never want another
if she would stay
