My Love’s Leavin’ Lyrics

I can't believe she's goin'
I said please show me
What selfish seeds I plant along the way
Black harvest today

The empty bed she left me
Cold on one side
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me

I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you?

Can I cope with today?
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me

But I'll control my feelings
I find faith, healing
And I'll find hope singing
The way is so long

But I'm gonna be strong
Oh what a turn around
Soon, someday I'll be bound
And I'll cope with today
My love is leavin'
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me

Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you, my love?

Breathing your perfume
Chills me
Dreams never lie
Is it true, asking you?

My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
That's what you heard

I'm free as a bird
Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin' me
Leavin, my love is leavin'
'Cause my love is leavin' me
That's what you heard
'Coz I'm free as a bird
My love is leavin', leavin'

Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin'

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
