[Intro]
Don't turn away from me
Don't turn away from me

[Verse]
If we have a troubled time
Do you stop admiring me?
When we see that we aren't perfect
Do you stop desiring me?

[Pre-Chorus]
I could keep your eyes from cryin'
Please don't turn your back on me
You could keep my heart from dyin'
Let me kiss you tenderly

[Chorus]
Don't turn away from me
Don't increase the distance between us when things aren't right
I love you truly so help me
Please let me, oh please let me bury my face in your hair
And my hopes in your care
My love in your body, my life in your heart
Beating sadly on nights such as this
Dissolved in one kiss
[French Horn Solo: Ray Alonge]

[Pre-Chorus]
I could keep your eyes from cryin'
Please don't turn your back on me
You could keep my heart from dyin'
Let me kiss you tenderly

[Chorus]
Don't turn away from me
Don't increase the distance between us when things aren't right
I love you truly so help me
Please let me, oh please let me bury my face in your hair
And my hopes in your care
My love in your body, my life in your heart
Beating sadly on nights such as this
Dissolved in one warm, wet, willing kiss
