[Verse 1]
I know you're leaving me behind
I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more

[Chorus]
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while

[Verse 2]
We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now can't you see that I'm feeling mine
Wait I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
Wait I'm like a helpless child wrapped up in a cradle
Wait let me know joy before I grieve
What hold me, darling, before you leave

[Chorus]
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me, rock me a little while

[Verse 3]
Oh, I'm losing you and all my happiness
My life is over, I got to confess
Wait, I'll never see your smiling face no more
Wait, I'll never hear your knocking on my door
Wait, before you leave me, baby, leave me behind
Please let me hold you just one more time

[Chorus]
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me, rock me a little while
Rock me, oh take me
Oh baby take me
Here I am baby, oh take me
I said I wouldn't beg, I said I wouldn't plead, no
Oh rock me baby, oh take me
Oh rock me rock me rock me rock me just a little while
Oh rock me rock me rock me rock me just a little while
Oh rock me rock me rock me rock me just a little while
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while
Hold me, darling, rock me, rock me a little while
