Moonlight and Roses

(Cheryl Wheeler)

I Don't need moonlight and roses
I don't want you to stand here and tell me lies
I know what you're feeling, I think I know why
Please don't let this love go by

It's so hard to think in the long run
And it's so easy to stand back and drift apart
There's nothing you'd ask me that I wouldn't try
Please don't let this love go by

Don't let this love go by
Don't you feed another flame
And let the first one die
You might believe you can take it in your stride
But these things go bad every time

I feel a whole lot of heartache and bad times
Comin' on like a fast train for you and me
There's a change in your voice, a stranger in your eyes
Please don't let this love go by

Don't let this love go by
Don't you feed another flame
And let the first one die
You might believe you can take it in your stride
But these things go bad every time

I don't need moonlight and roses
I don't want you to stand here and tell me lies
I know what you're feeling, I think I know why
Please do't let this love go by

Darlin' please don't' let this love go by
