I Tried To Leave You

I tried to leave you

I won’t deny

I closed the book on us

At least a hundred times

Ah, but I’d wake up Each and every morning

Right there, by your side

The years go by

You lose your pride

Your little baby’s crying

So you do not go outside

And all your work It’s right here

Right before your eyes

Bob Metzger on the electric guitar.

Dino Soldo on the saxophone.

Neil Larsen on the Hammond B-3.

I tried to leave you

I will not deny

I closed the book on us

At least one hundred times

Still I wake up Still I wake up every morning

By your side.

Sharon Robinson.

Javier Mas on the archilaud.

Tried to leave you

Hattie and Charley Webb,

the sublime Webb Sisters.

Our musical director on the base, Roscoe Beck.

Goodnight, my darling

I hope you are satisfied

The bed is kinda narrow

But my arms are open wide

Yes, in here’s a man

He’s still workin’

For your smile
