Lyrics

LEAVE THE REST FOR ME
Words and music by ERVIN R. MAYNARD copyright 2004

DARLING TAKE MY HEART
BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE DOOR
IT?S BROKEN ANYWAY
I WON?T NEED IT ANYMORE
BABY TAKE THE TEARS
FALLING FROM MY EYES
TAKE AWAY THE PAIN
SO I WON?T HAVE TO CRY

TAKE THESE MEMORIES
SO I CAN?T SEE THE PAST
STARING BACK AT ME
FROM THE BOTTOM OF A GLASS
THERE?S NOTHING FOR ME THERE
WHEN DREAMS ALL FADE AWAY

BABY WHEN YOU GO
TAKE ANYTHING YOU NEED
AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
JUST LEAVE THE REST FOR ME

TAKE AWAY MY FAITH
LOST PRAYERS CAN?T HELP ME NOW
HOPING TO BELIEVE
IS HOPELESS ANYHOW

BABY WHEN YOU GO
TAKE ANYTHING YOU NEED
AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
JUST LEAVE THE REST FOR ME

TAKE AWAY THE WORDS
LEAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY
