Leonard Cohen I Tried To Leave You Lyrics

I Tried To Leave You lyrics

I tried to leave you, I don't deny
I closed the book on us, at least a hundred times.
I'd wake up every morning by your side.
The years go by, you lose your pride.
The baby's crying, so you do not go outside,
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/leonard-cohen-lyrics/i-tried-to-leave-you-lyrics.html ]
and all your work it's right before your eyes.

Goodnight, my darling, I hope you're satisfied,
the bed is kind of narrow, but my arms are open wide.
And here's a man still working for your smile.
