Don’t take it away, we’ve got to finish somehow
But don’t let it end, ‘cause we know nothing about
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away now
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away

There is a beauty in your words and a spirit in this night
A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere
A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere

Don’t take it away, don’t take it away now
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away

If you take it away, it doesn’t make any sense
It means nothing at all, if it’s put to an end
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away now
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away

There is a beauty in your words and a spirit in this night
A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere
A tenderness that lingers in the air like a perfume ev’rywhere

We couldn’t get further with the demons around
As they stood in ev’ry corner then
We had to pull this ship around
To bring us back on course again

Had to learn being a soldier, had to learn being out there at war
Had to fight for my life and what it’s worth fighting for

We couldn’t get further with the demons around
As they stood in ev’ry corner then
We had to pull this ship around
To bring us back on course again

Don’t take it away
Don’t let it end
Don’t take it away (don’t take it away now)
Oooh, don’t let it end
