"You Don't Have To Be Alone" lyrics - PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE

If I knew just what to say... If I could read your mind
Then I know we'd find the way to leave our shyness all behind
Cause I see that there's a message in your eyes
But it takes so many words and I realize it's not easy... to be free

If I could figure out just how to read between the lines
Then I'd know right here and now what's really on your mind
Cause I think that you would like to stay with me
If we had the time to choose what would it be could we really... be so free

Cause you know I have to go I just wanted you to know
You don't have to... be alone

Please don't even ask me why when it comes time to go
I can see it in your eyes that you don't really want to know
But you know that I would pass this way again
And our memories will keep us until then in the meantime... we'll be free

Cause you know I have to go I just wanted you to know
You don't have to... be alone
I just wanted you to know I just wanted you to know
You don't have to... be alone
