I tried to leave you, I don't deny
I closed the book on us, at least a hundred times.
I'd wake up every morning by your side.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/leonard+cohen/i+tried+to+leave+you_20082829.html ]
The years go by, you lose your pride.
The baby's crying, so you do not go outside,
And all your work it's right before your eyes.
Goodnight, my darling, I hope you're satisfied,
The bed is kind of narrow, but my arms are open wide.
And here's a man still working for your smile.
I Tried To Leave You Lyrics
