I watch as you take off your clothes And slip under the sheets Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet I pull you close without a word 'Cause there's no need to speak Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat Chorus: But I'll be gone in the morning, In the morning I'll be gone 'Cause I'm not one for hanging on So, Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase The memory of any other's face And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace And lose all track of time without a trace Chorus: But I'll be gone in the morning, In the morning I'll be gone 'Cause I'm not one for hanging on Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone The sun intrudes and throws Across the room its golden tracks Shake the dreams, now it's back to facts As I turn to leave I know you had what so many lack Maybe someday that'll bring me back. Chorus: But I'll be gone in the morning, In the morning I'll be gone 'Cause I'm not one for hanging on Yes, Please don't think that you done something wrong In the morning when you wake and find me gone In the morning when you wake and find me gone...
