Don't Let Your Sweet Love Die    (C.Van Ness/Z.Manners)


Don't let your sweet love die like flowers in the fall
Don't take away the smiles and leave the tears
My love believes in you, please say you love me too
Don't leave me now to face the lonely years

I drifted all alone, no one to call my own
and then you came like an angel from the sky
You said we'd never part, don't leave and break my heart
Be mine alone, don't let your sweet love die

When flowers fade away they'll bloom again some day
Will you love me when the rosebud's open wide?
Or is your kiss to be only a memory
I need you so, don't let your sweet love die

Don't let your sweet love die like flowers in the fall
Without you life would seem likee death to me
I've grown so used to you, I can't believe we're through
Don't say goodbye, don't let your sweet love die
