I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away
Embracing Life's Light: Randy Newman's Poignant Plea in 'I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away'Lyrics
I can't let you, I can't let you
I am unwilling to allow you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I am unwilling to allow you (repeated)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself (repeated)
I can't let you throw yourself away
-Don't you wanna see the sun come up each morning?
Don't you desire to witness the sunrise every morning?
Don't you wanna see the sun go down each day?
Don't you desire to witness the sunset every day?
Don't you wanna see that little girl who loves you so?
Don't you want to see the girl who loves you deeply?
Her heart would break if you should go
Her heart would shatter if you were to leave
I can't let you, I can't let you
I am unwilling to allow you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I am unwilling to allow you (repeated)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself (repeated)
I can't let you throw yourself away
-Son, it seems to me like you're never gonna behave yourself
Son, it appears that you are not going to behave responsibly
Since I'm not gonna do this every day
Since I won't do this every day
Come tomorrow, you're gonna have to save yourself
Tomorrow, you'll have to save yourself
Got nothing more to say, you're not listening anyway
I have nothing more to say; you're not listening anyway
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I am unwilling to allow you (repeated)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself (repeated)
I can't let you throw yourself away
-I can't let you (I can't let you)
I am unwilling to allow you (repeated)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself (repeated)
I can't let you throw yourself away
-I can't let you
I am unwilling to allow you
I can't let you
-I can't let you throw yourself away
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself (repeated)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I am unwilling to allow you (repeated)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I cannot permit you to destroy yourself (repeated)
I can't let you throw yourself away
