Don't ever take yourself away
Don't ever take yourself to a place where i can't find you
Don't ever take yourself away
I will never leave you, will never deceive you
I'll be right there walkin' behind you.

Dearest, i think you're the one
I can't imagine anybody doin' more to me than you do
Dearest, if it's your heart that i won
There's no need for blame and no reason to be ashamed
Of that place where we stand in the sun.

Don't ever take yourself away
Don't ever take yourself to a place where i can't find you
Don't ever take yourself away
I will never leave you, I will never deceive you
I'll be right there walkin' behind you.

Dearest, let us not drift apart
It wouldn't be wise, it wouldn't be civilized, it wouldn't be smart
Time heals a broken heart
You've been hurt, you've been left in the dirt
But you still look brand new to me.

Don't ever take yourself away
Don't ever take yourself to a place where i can't find you
Don't ever take yourself away
I will never leave you, I will never deceive you
I'll be right there walkin' behind you.

Dearest, you're the answer to my prayers
Words can't express if my heart would confess what you mean to me
Dearest, i can't help knowin' that you're the best
I don't have to feel, you to know that you're real
You're more than a dream to me.

Don't ever take yourself away
Don't ever take yourself to a place where i can't find you
Don't ever take yourself away
I will never leave you, I will never deceive you
I'll be right there walking behind you.
