"Why Did You Leave Me Today" lyrics - GENE CLARK

For so long worked so hard
We didn't have a dime
But we had one anothers love
That was all the time

Then one day our ship came in
The answer to our dreams
A mansion filled with social life
And golden leopardskins

Why did you leave me today
I was going to give you the world
I watched my dream fly away
All I can say why did you leave today

As I walked thru these grand old halls
I feel so cold inside
Stare upon these grand old walls
And all their costly prizes

I realize I'd gladly trade them
These worldly things
To lie beside you one more time
And share only our dreams

Why did you leave me today
I was going to give you the world
I watched my dream slip away
All I can say why did you leave today
Why did you leave me today
