Oh! My life, it’s slipping away
Oh! My life, you’ve left me alone
Oh! My life, it’s slipping away
Oh! My life, you’ve left me alone
Oh! My life, you don’t know how long it’s been
Since I last slept or ate, lost in who I am
And I won’t beg you to stay, though the pain cuts so deep
I don’t even want to see the moon or the sun
Tell me if you won’t return, because I’ll be gone
I will have to leave this place
Perhaps you’ll never see me again
I’ll fight to see you happy
And goodbye, goodbye to your honeyed lips
And you’re leaving, just walking away
While I’m left here with no word
Maybe you’re hurting for me, as I hurt for you
Oh! My life, it’s slipping away
Oh! My life, you’ve left me alone
Oh! My life, it’s slipping away
Oh! My life, you’ve left me alone
Oh my life! I know you’ve been hurt so much
By all the things they say about me
That I’m not true to our love
And it’s tearing you apart
I know they envy what we have
So pure and sincere
But it doesn’t matter, my dear, come back, no more tears
I promise you’ll never hear
Another word to cause you pain
By God! Things can change
And make, make a diamond from a ruby
And you’re leaving, just walking away
While I’m left here with no word
Maybe you’re hurting for me, as I hurt for you
Oh! My life, it’s slipping away
Oh! My life, you’ve left me alone
Oh! My life, it’s slipping away
Oh! My life, you’ve left me alone
