The girl

May smile the way you do

And touch me like you too

But still she won't be you to me

The world

May turn the way it does

But I won't be in love

The way that I am now with you

Oh - it was tangled in your words

Oh- but goodbye was all I heard

All I heard...

And I will cry if you walk away

Wonder why if you walk away

Did i give too much too soon

What a bitter price to pay

For what are tears if you walk away

Days are years if you walk away

You will take my heart from me

If you walk away...

So girl

If there was something wrong

You held it into long

Cause now this fool belongs to you

Oh girl

If you give me one more day

I'll find something new to say

Some sweet lie to make you stay with me

Now I know

You are tied up in your doubt

But don't go

Cause I still believe

That we can work it out...

And I will cry if you walk away

Wonder why if you walk away

Did I give too much too soon

What a bitter price to pay

For what are tears if you walk away?

Days are years if you walk away

You will take my heart with you

If you walk away

Stay, Baby

I'll find some line

To make you stay..

Now I know

You are tied up in your doubt

But don't go

Ain't too proud to beg you

Please don't leave

Cause I believe

We can work it out

And I will cry if you walk away

Wonder why if you walk away

Did I give too much too soon

What a bitter price to pay

For what are tears if you walk away?

Days are years if you walk away

You will take my heart with you

If you walk away..

The girl

May smile the way you do

And touch me like you do

But still she won't be you to me...

If You Walk Away was the second single from Pete's self titled Album Peter Cox in 1997. As with the first single Aint Gonna Cry Again it was written by Pete and carries all the hallmarks of a classic Peter Cox Solo work. The lyrics of If You Walk Away are moving and as with so much of Pete's solo work deeply thoughtful. After the more high octane Aint Gonna Cry Again, If You Walk Away showed that Pete was capable of writing truly gorgeous ballads. A deserved choice as a single this song will live in your memory long after you first hear it. Check out the lyrics below and see why..
