Lyrics: Walker, Sullivan
Music: Walker, Sullivan
Played by the New Riders of the Purple Sage in the early 1970s,
but not recorded for one of their albums. Also played by Jerry Garcia (on banjo) with High Country in 1969.
You tell me that you're going away
What makes you want to leave
You gave me your love, you gave me your vow
And now you're leaving me here to grieve
Chorus
Live and let live, don't break my heart
Don't leave me here to cry
I never could live if we should part
Tell me you don't mean goodbye
Stayed awake last night and I walked the floor
What makes you treat me so
Live and let live, don't break my heart
I don't want to live if you go
[chorus]
You're the one who's making me love you so
You're the one who's making me cry
You're the one who'd break my heart if you go
Tell me you don't mean goodbye
[chorus]
[chorus]
Tell me you don't mean goodbye
