Please don't take you out of us. You took the happy out of happiness You took the love out of loveliness Take all these precious things from me if you must But please don't take you out of us. You took the tender out of tenderness You took the hope out of hopefulness Take all these precious things from me if you must But please don't take you out of us. Take everything away that's keeping me alive And you can take away my memory, I still survive. Take all the happiness that I've ever known Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown Take all these precious things from me if you must But please don't take you out of us...
