Oh, heed my plea, do not scorch my heart, stranger,
Oh, heed my plea, do not scorch my heart, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger.
Why this haste to depart, this urgent need?
Perhaps, you know not what love truly is, indeed.
Why this haste to depart, this urgent need?
Perhaps, you know not what love truly is, indeed.
You who would break my heart, and leave me far,
What worth do you place on the love I bear?
Speak, tell me what dwells within your heart, stranger,
Speak, tell me what dwells within your heart, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger, tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger.
A fleeting meeting, a moment's grace,
Do you not know what such a meeting can embrace?
A starlit night, what are a few fleeting moments,
Do you not know what such a meeting can embrace?
So swiftly, you’ve forgotten love’s own art,
If not the commonplace, then tell me, what’s your part?
Look at me, hide nothing more, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger.
You are my heart, my soul, my friend, you see,
You are my first love, forever to be,
You are my heart, my soul, my friend, you see,
You are my first love, forever to be.
A hundred oaths you swore upon my head,
I am the sinner, you, the one misled.
My sinner you are, before you go, embrace, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger, tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger, tonight, do not leave, stranger,
Tonight, do not leave, stranger, tonight, do not leave, stranger.
