Don't Ever Leave Me

Don't Ever Leave Me
music by Jerome Kern (at piano)
lyric by Oscar Hammerstein II (left)

I was created for one man alone; it wasn't easy to find.
Now that I found him, I wonder just how I could have lived right up to now;
Now that I am something completed by you, I am no one, just part of two...

Don't ever leave me, now that you're here!
Here is where you belong.
Ev'rything seems so right when you're near, when you're away it's all wrong.

I'm so dependent when I need comfort I always run to you.

Don't ever leave me!
'Cause if you do, I'll have no one to run to...
