Slip Away

by Ray Charles

on Black Velvet (2018), From The Pages Of My Mind (1986), The Complete Country & Western Recordings 1959-1986 (1998)

Outside the wind blows it ? the sound of your name
Yesterdays over tomorrow is still more of the same
When i saw you leaving I wished that I'd take you to stay
I stood in silence as you slowly slipped away
Slip away, slip away
How could I ever let you slip away
Slip away, slip away
Right through my fingers I let you slip away
If I could have told you the things that I felt in my heart
But its heart to hold on to love when its falling apart
And now that its over there's nothing more i can say
Except that I'm sorry for saying too little too late
Slip away, slip away
How could I ever let you slip away
Slip away, slip away
Right through my fingers I let you slip away
Right through my fingers I let you slip away
