Don't Leave Too Soon - Fairport Convention

Don’t leave too soon, don’t say goodbye yet

Your gaze is quiet and misty as if your course is set

But there’s life in this party, there’s a bright harvest moon

Friend of mine, see it shine, don’t leave too soon

Don’t leave too soon, I know it feels late

And evening’s a mask in shadows, the seasons do not wait

But laughter still rings here, it can light up the room

So fix your eyes on the sweet sunrise, don’t leave too soon

Oh, haven’t we still got songs to sing, new colours every day

Now is not the time to disappear into the grey

Don’t leave too soon, don’t tell me you’re tired

Your heart still has the magic, your eyes still have the fire

While there’s pride and there’s music, add your voice to the tune

Sweet trusted one I’m counting on, don’t leave too soon

Oh, sweet trusted one I’m counting on, don’t leave too soon

Haven’t we still got songs to sing

Haven’t we still got songs to sing

Haven’t we still got songs to sing

Haven’t we still got songs to sing

Haven’t we still got songs to sing
