Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Don't Give Up On Me" lyrics


Ev'ry night's a lonely night since you went awayBut you come back to haunt my memoryI lie awake and think of you and how it used to beOh my love don't give up on me.
The symbol of the moon above and living without youI can't stand this cold realityYou alone can make me whole, our love was meant to beOh my love don't give up on me.
In the dying embers of the midnight hourAll these things brought me miseryIn the dying embers of the midnight hourOh my love don't give up on me.
When you left I know I lost the better part of meBut I can't blame my troubled historyYou and I were innocent, our love was meant to beOh my love don't give up on me.
In the dying embers of the midnight hourAll these things brought me miseryIn the dying embers of the midnight hourOh my love don't give up on me.
Jesus came into this world so all men may be foundIn the soul of all humanityEv'ry time I stumble on the road to CalvaryOh my love don't give up on me.
In the dying embers of the midnight hourAll these things brought me miseryIn the dying embers of the midnight hourOh my love don't give up on meOh my love don't give up on meMy sweet Lord don't give up on me.
(fade)Oh my love don't give up on me
