Leonard CohenI Tried to Leave You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tried to leave you, I don't deny
I closed the book on us at least a hundred times

[Verse 2]
The years go by, you lose your pride
The baby's crying, so you do not go outside
And all your work it's right before your eyes

And here's a man still working for your smile
