It Won't Go Away

Words and Music by Mark Edwards

© March 1977

I’m tired of dreaming of you

I’ve tried to put you ... far out of my mind.

How many times Lord, must I sit up and wonder?

How many times till I know

Just what happened, I feel it burning

How could I let that girl go?

Chorus:

How long till she’ll be forgotten

How long till her memory fades away?

How long till I shall remember

Another day like the one she brought to me.

You know, I won't forget her

I'll go on living ... within the shelter of my mind.

I'm sitting here reading, that letter you sent me.

I'm sitting here trying to recall.

The light it's flickering, my mind started wandering

Your shadow's impaled on my wall.

(Chorus;)

She's gone and won't return now.

The dawn...seems to go by faster everyday.

Sometimes I feel, Lord, so all alone now.

Sometimes I feel such despair.

But now I realize, how much I need her

And Lord, how much I care!

(Chorus:)
