Barbra Streisand - Could I Leave You

Could I Leave You

Original songwriter: Stephen Sondheim

Leave you leave you how could I leave you how could I go it alone

Could I wave the years away with a quick goodbye

How do you wipe tears away when your eyes are dry

Sweetheart lover could I recover give up the joys I have known

Not to fetch your pills again every day at five

Not to give those dinners for ten elderly men from the UN how could I survive

Could I leave you and your shelves of the world's best books

And the evenings of martyred looks cryptic sighs

Sullen glares from those injured eyes

Leave those quips with a sting jokes with a sneer

Passionless lovemaking once a year

Leave the lies ill concealed and the wounds never healed

And the games not worth winning and wait I'm just beginning

What leave you leave you how could I leave you what would I do on my own

Putting thoughts of you aside in the south of France would I think of suicide darling shall we dance

Could I live through the pain on a terrace in Spain would it pass it would pass

Could I bury my rage with a boy half your age in the grass ha ha bet your ass

But I've done that already or didn't you know love

Tell me how could I leave when I've left long ago love

Could I leave you

No the point is

Could you leave me well I guess you could

Leave me the house leave me the flat

Leave me the Braques and

Chagalls and all that

You could leave me the stocks for sentiment's sake

And ninety percent of the money you make

And the rugs and the cooks darling you keep the drugs angel you keep the books

Honey I'll take the grand sugar you keep the spinet

And all of our friends now just wait a damn minute

What leave you leave you how could I leave you sweetheart I have to confess

Could I leave you yes will I leave you will I leave you

Guess
