about

"You Won't Leave Me" on Heather Hill's newly released album "Leuty Station" is a love song and slow ballad with a shuffle.

As a mother of two small children, this song is about Heather's desire to raise her young family, be a supportive wife, friend and daughter while pursuing her dream as a performing songwriter. It is a love song to both her husband and her source of inner strength.

The song has elements of K. D. Lang and Ray LaMontagne with a touch of Harry Nilsson in the arrangement.

lyrics

You Won’t Leave Me
by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn

Tired
No time, time, time
To do the things, I was born to do
Afraid
Worry, worry, worry
There’s nothing left of me to go around

You
You lift me up
You give me breath
And you won’t leave me no

Guilty
Never, never, never
Good enough for my judge and jury
Shame
Blame, blame, blame
On everything but myself

You
You lift me up
You give me breath
And you won’t leave me no
You won’t leave me no

No one ever thinks
They’re beautiful until someone tells them
But honey, words won’t make you beautiful,
You’ve got to love, and laugh and cry in your own skin

Freedom
There, there, there
Singing softly in my ears

You
You lift me up
You give me breath
And you won’t leave me no
You won’t leave me no
You won’t leave me no
