Don’t Look Away

(Country Love Ballad)

Verse 1

Every evening ’neath the porch-light glow,

You wander off where the soft winds blow,

But you always turn ’round, lookin’ back at me,

Like I’m the only one you ever need.

Pre-Chorus

Moonlight in those big brown eyes,

Feels like time just slows…

There’s a bond we can’t disguise,

Only we two know…

Chorus

Don’t look away, just hold my gaze,

Out here in the stillness of our quiet little place.

I’ll be right here, no matter what you do,

I won’t ever break this gaze with you.

Yeah, I promise, girl… I’ll stay,

So don’t look away.

Verse 2

You take your stance in the tall backyard grass,

Nature calls, and the moment comes to pass,

But the way you lock eyes, it makes me feel,

Like what we’ve got is somethin’ real.

Pre-Chorus

No one else could understand,

Why it means so much…

Simple moments, hand in hand—

Well… kinda — close enough.

Chorus

Don’t look away, just hold my gaze,

Out here in the stillness of our quiet little place.

I’ll be right here, no matter what you do,

I won’t ever break this gaze with you.

Yeah, I promise, girl… I’ll stay,

So don’t look away.

Bridge

I know someday the world might laugh,

But they don’t see the love we have.

Every time you squat outside,

You still look back, right into my eyes…

Final Chorus

Don’t look away, just hold my gaze,

Even when the stars are hidin’ in the haze.

I’ll be right here, forever loyal and true,

Till the last little moment you’re through.

Yeah, I promise, girl… I’ll stay,

So don’t look away.

Sweet baby… finish your business,

But don’t… look… away.
