Go away from my window, Leave at your own chosen speed

To protect you and defend you, Whether you are right or wrong

   G                 Am            G                   Am
Someone to close his eyes to you, Someone to close his heart

     G             Am                 G                 Am
To gather flowers constantly, And to come each time you call

And will love you for your life, And nothin' more
