Gerry Rafferty - Don't Give Up on Me lyrics

rate me

Ev'ry night's a lonely night since you went away

But you come back to haunt my memory

I lie awake and think of you and how it used to be

Oh my love don't give up on me.

The symbol of the moon above and living without you

I can't stand this cold reality

You alone can make me whole, our love was meant to be

Oh my love don't give up on me.

In the dying embers of the midnight hour

All these things brought me misery

In the dying embers of the midnight hour

Oh my love don't give up on me.

When you left I know I lost the better part of me

But I can't blame my troubled history

You and I were innocent, our love was meant to be

Oh my love don't give up on me.

In the dying embers of the midnight hour

All these things brought me misery

In the dying embers of the midnight hour

Oh my love don't give up on me.

Jesus came into this world so all men may be found

In the soul of all humanity

Ev'ry time I stumble on the road to Calvary

Oh my love don't give up on me.

In the dying embers of the midnight hour

All these things brought me misery

In the dying embers of the midnight hour

Oh my love don't give up on me

Oh my love don't give up on me

My sweet Lord don't give up on me.

(fade)

Oh my love don't give up on me
