You're around every corner I turn
At the bottom of every stair
Humming along with every song that I sing
So I cannot forget you're there

It's not that I want to forget forever
I'll bring you back on my own
But won't you please leave it up to me?
The nights I am alone

There's no open invitation
No wide open door
So if you don't mind
Come out from behind the pantry door
Stop pacing the floor

It's not that I want to forget forever
I'll bring you back on my own
But won't you please leave it up to me?
The nights I am alone
Won't you please leave it up to me?
The nights I am alone

He's riding in the car
He's underneath the bed
He's walking the streets around here
His hand on my shoulder
His whisper in my ear
He's gone, but he will never go
You're gone, but you will never go
It's not that I want to forget forever
I'll bring you back on my own
But won't you please leave it up to me?
The nights I am alone
Won't you please leave it up to me?
The nights I am alone
Won't you please leave it up to me?
The nights I am alone
