lyrics

LET ME BE! (ALONE)

I can still remember
back in my mind
times I thought would never end
You and me together baby
walking in the warm sunshine
You said,
"Don't ever leave me
"Don't ever leave me
"Don't you ever say goodbye"

Sitting by the fire
the night took us higher
loving you beneath the stars
You made me so happy girl
every day that you were mine
I said,
"Don't ever leave me
"Don't ever leave me
"Don't you ever say goodbye"

Now won't you let me be alone my friend
Now won't you let me be alone
I'd like to tell you how it feels my friend
but it really drags me down
You know it really drags me down

I can still remember
back in my mind
a love I thought would never die
You and me we were happy then
baby let's do it again
You said,
"Don't ever leave me
"Don't ever leave me
"Don't you ever say goodbye"

Do you know how it feels to be a fool
and what it means to learn the hardest lessons well?
Do you know what it's like to be betrayed
and how it hurts to lose the only one that you've loved?

Now won't you let me be alone my friend
Now won't you let me be alone
I'd like to tell you how it feels my friend
but it really drags me down
You know it really drags me down
Drags me down
Drags me down!

about

Vinny's Last Ride Nanaimo, British Columbia

In 1964, a young Leon Portelance and Sean Vance saw something amazing on the Ed Sullivan Show: The Beatles. They were amazing! And all those girls screaming for them. The two lads knew then what they wanted to be when they grew up. They bugged their parents for guitars and by 1969 had hooked up with Byron Gunderson to form a rock band. They have played together off and on ever since. ... more
