Before You Go Away
Words & music by J.C. Schütz
Terrinha Music Publishing

I don't know where to start
Perhaps what's worst
Is knowing that we have to part
So I'll just tell you
From the bottom of my heart
How much it hurts to see you go

You said you'd never change
But now you're distanced
And your eyes have turned so strange
I'm badly punctured
And I'm madly disarranged
But that's not
What I wanted you to know

Before you go away
I have some things
That I will die if I don't say
So if you go now
And you're never coming back
You have to hold me
For a while so I don't crack
Before you go away
I must remind you
That you took away the grey
In case you won't return
I've memorized your smile
Before you go away
Please hold me for a while

I'm selfish and I'm weak
I'm out of words
But still I feel this urge to speak
Perhaps I'm scared
Of taking farewell cheek to cheek
If there are things still left to say

So nothing matters more
If it's the last time
That I'll see you shut this door
I must admit that you have
Touched me to the core
And I'm so glad
That you have crossed my way

Before you go away
I want to thank you
For your help to seize the day
If it's the last thing
That you'll ever hear me say:
You'll stay in every
Piece of music that I play
Before you go away
I have some things
That I will die if I don't say
In case you won't return
I've memorized your smile
Before you go away
Please hold me for a while
Please hold me for a while
