Walk away leave with my blessing.
Once in a while, let me hear from you
if we never meet again, before my life is over
i'll leave this world loving you

you can take everything but my memories
for they're good ones, and they'll see me through
and if we never meet again, i'll love you forever
i'll leave this world loving you

you were mine for a time, and i'm thankful
oh but life will be so lonesome without you
if we never meet again this side of heaven
i'll leave this world loving you

[instrumental]

if we never meet again this side of heaven
i'll leave this world lovin' you.
