Babe I’m leavin’
   I must be on my way
   The time is drawing near
   My train is going
   I see it in your eyes
   The love, the need, your tears
   But I’ll be lonely without you
   And I’ll need your love to see me through
   So please believe me
   My heart is in your hands
   And I’ll be missing you
    
       You know it’s you babe
       Whenever I get weary and I’ve had enough, Feel like 
giving  up
       You know it’s you babe
       Givin’ me the courage and the strength I need
       Please believe that it’s true
       Babe, I love you
   
   repeat chorus 
   
   Babe, I’m leavin’
   I’ll say it once again
   And somehow try to smile
   I know the feeling we’re tryin’ to forget
   If only for a while
   ‘Cause I’ll be lonely without you
   And I’ll need your love to see me through
   Please believe me
   My heart is in your hands
   ‘Cause I’ll be missing you
   Babe, I love you
   Babe, I love you
   Ooo-oo-oo-oo, babe
