Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I've been without, a lot of things
And in my mind, I'm questioning
And if ever, he will leave my side
Don't know how I'll make it, how will I survive
(Ay)
And then I heard
(Ay)
You in my ear
(Ay)
Sayin' it's okay, don't worry I am here
(I am here)
Don't know where I, would be today
If you would ever, take your love away
Don't take your spirit away
Your spirit away, your spirit away
Don't know how I can make it
From day to day, don't take it away
I promise you that I will do it better
I promise, I will get myself together
Don't take it, don't take it
Your spirit away
Now I'm a man, with many dreams
I'm dreaming more for you, so never leave
Please won't you stay with me always?
There's no one that can take your place
(Ay)
And in I heard
(Ay)
You in my ear
(Ay)
Sayin' it's okay, don't worry I am here
Don't know where I, would be today
If you would ever, take your love away
Don't take your spirit away
(No)
Your spirit away
(No)
Your spirit away
(No)
Don't know how I can make it
From day to day, don't take it away
I promise you that I will do it better
I promise I will get myself together
Don't take it
(Please)
Don't take it
(Don't take it)
Your spirit away
Don't you leave me
I'm couldn't make it
Never leave me
I couldn't take it
Don't take it
(No)
Don't take it
(No)
Don't take it
(No)
Your spirit away
(Hear my cry)
Don't take it
(Ay)
Don't take it
(Don't take it)
Don't take it
(Ay)
Your spirit away
You can take my name, you can take my fame
But ohh, please don't take your
(Your spirit away)
You can take my money, you can take it all
But please don't take your
(Your spirit away)
