AmI remember the soGund of the passing tAmrain
AmAs it rolled through the nGight in the pouring Amrain
AmAnd the touch of a hGand and the Emway she said 'GoodCbye'.
AmAnd we walked in the sGun down the royAmal mile
AmSaw the light in her Geye and the way sAmhe smiled
AmAnd she cried in the Gnight and I Emheard her say 'Don'Ct go'.
FWhat can I do, sGweet darlin', I don't Cwant to go away
FLooking at you sGweet darlin', I know I Cwant to stay
FWhat can I do, sGweet darlin'?
