Lyrics

It's a golden afternoon
Like a day from a better time
But the leaves are falling still

These nights are colder now
Your words keep lingering
They're hanging on the air

Won't you please come back to me?
You're not the same as you used to be
Won't you please come back to me?
I watched you walk away
I watched you leave

I keep looking for a way inside
But it's so hard for you to let me in
This much is true

I wanted the best for you
The best for you in all this world
You threw it all away

Won't you please come back to me?
You're not the same as you used to be
Won't you please come back to me?
I watched you walk away
I watched you leave

And now you're gone
But it's so hard to let you go
You're moving on
Where will you go?
Where will you go?

Won't you please come back to me?
You're not the same as you used to be
Won't you please come back to me?
I watched you walk away
I watched you leave

Won't you please come back to me?
Won't you please come back to me?
