Leslie Davis - Leaving Standing Tall lyrics

rate me

Verse Number One:

Everything I’ve tried to do…has always turned out wrong…

It took a lot of love inside of me…to keep me here this long…

It’s too late…to dim the lights again…expecting me to crawl…

So tonight…I’m gonna leave you…and I’m leaving standing tall…

THE CHORUS:

YES, I’M PICKING UP THE PIECES…

OF THIS HEART THAT YOU’VE BEEN BREAKING….

AND, I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES…

JUST TO TRY AND FIND THEM ALL….

BUT WHEN I GET UP…ONE LONG LAST LOOK…

IS ALL THAT I’LL BE TAKING….

SO TONIGHT, I’M GONNA LEAVE YOU…

AND, I’M LEAVIN’ STANDING TALL….

Verse Number Two:

If I could see inside your mind…I wonder what I’d find…

There’s something there…that’s made me come so close…to losing mine…

The tallest tree…will sometimes bend…but that won’t make it fall…

I’m packing up to leave you…and I’m leaving standing tall….

THE CHORUS:

YES, I’M PICKING UP THE PIECES…

OF THIS HEART THAT YOU’VE BEEN BREAKING….

AND, I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES…

JUST TO TRY AND FIND THEM ALL….

BUT WHEN I GET UP…ONE LONG LAST LOOK…

IS ALL THAT I’LL BE TAKING….

SO TONIGHT, I’M GONNA LEAVE YOU…

AND, I’M LEAVIN’ STANDING TALL….

Hard Modulation

THE CHORUS:

YES, I’M PICKING UP THE PIECES…

OF THIS HEART THAT YOU’VE BEEN BREAKING….

AND, I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES…

JUST TO TRY AND FIND THEM ALL….

BUT WHEN I GET UP…ONE LONG LAST LOOK…

IS ALL THAT I’LL BE TAKING….

SO TONIGHT, I’M GONNA LEAVE YOU…

AND, I’M LEAVIN’ STANDING TALL….
