Lyrics

Don’t Look Back For Me

Friday night and the evening’s young, looking forward to see
Me and you and the dancin’ floor, summer’s hot as we breath
Tender lines on your face tonight make me wonder
Later on when the lights go down and the sky shakes with thunder
Early morning I’ll rise to give you leave.

I always wanted you night and day, I thought of you in my sleep
But when you told me you needed room, my heart just couldn’t believe
Parallel we can’t seem to make it together
Between our lives always the pain and bad weather
Within your crowd you won’t see me – no no!

Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me
Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me

I couldn’t read your signals then ‘cause I was too close to your heart
What I took for love was really fear, but I couldn’t tell them apart.

Now I’m sitting here missing you, your smiling face I won’t see
And I won’t give you my heart again, this time it’s coming with me
Now and then as you search your mind think of me there.
And I’ll remember those nights gone by when our love was in the air
Now it’s late and I must be on my way.

Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me
Don’t look back for me, don’t look back for me
