[Verse 1]
Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's no one else I'm thinking of

[Chorus]
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man

[Verse 2]
There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space

[Chorus]
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man

[Refrain]
When she came to me and opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me, I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone
I can't go on
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
When she came to me and opened my eyes
Oh, showed me my life was worth living
Now it's over for me, I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone
And I can't go on, oh
