Lyrics
Conversation that flowed like wine
took us both by surprise
Newfound freedom feels so fine -
why go back to his lies?
Thought I knew your laugh all these years,
thought I forgot how to smile
He snaps his fingers, you run back in tears
looking toward me - were you reaching for me?
(ch)
Don't leave me standing by the window
looking out at what could be
Don't let me cast a lonely shadow
on the road that's paved
for you and me
Beaming so brightly you lit up the room,
we toasted possibility
In a flash your heart recedes
back into slavery
I don't see why you must belong
to that shifty gambling man
Can you deny selfless love so strong
reaching toward you, I'm reaching for you
(ch)
Don't leave me standing by the window etc.
