Toni, why did you go?
Why did you leave me here
all alone?
Toni, what did I do wrong
to leave me singing this song?
It seemed to last the whole night long.
Toni, I loved you so,
although you threatened our love
too many times before.
Oh, if you could understand--
If I could just reach out
and hold you hand again.
Oh Toni, if you'd come back then I would clip your wings,
And you're never gonna' fly away again.
Oh, my darling--
Oh, my baby--
Oh, my baby--
Do you remember, back the way it was,
when you were the only thing that mattered
in my whole world?
You and I were so in love.
No one would ever think back then
that you'd ever go away.
You were my love—- you were my girl —
you were the only one
who ever gave a thought for me,
But, it didn't last long. No, I guess I was wrong.
You took to the wind,
and then, you flew away.
And, I cried, and I'd cry right now,
but there is no more
tears left to fall.
Oh, I loved you so much.
Oh Toni, if you'd come back then I would clip your wings,
And you're never gonna' fly away again.
Toni, now that you're gone,
all I have left is
singing this song.
What could I have done?
What did I leave unsung?
All I want is to hold you in my arms again.
Toni, what do you want from me?
Because, I'll be anything
that you want me to be.
Oh, can't you see that
I'm willing to do anything
just to have you here with me?
Toni, Toni, Toni, come back to me.
And, I'm walking down the street, and I'm thinking of you.
And, I'm also thinking 'bout what I'm s'pose to do
To get you back right here with me
And to make you so you'll never-- never-- never-- never go away.
Oh, I love you. I love you.
All I ever needed was you.
Oh Toni, if you'd come back then I would clip your wings,
And you're never gonna' fly-- never gonna' fly away again.
You won't need to fly
because I'll be right there
with whatever you need.
You know, I'll be right there--
I'll be whatever you need,
If I could just hold you in my arms once more.
