Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's no one else I'm thinking of
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man
There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man
When she came to me she opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone
And I can't go on
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man
