I'll Be Leaving Lyrics

I'll be leaving just as soon as I gather my things
I'll be going and I ain't coming back here again
Oh my darling one, hope you miss me when I am gone
But I know that you will be better off on your own
Now my darling, I hope you understand
The best thing I could do for you is to be leaving
When the morning comes, I will be gone
When the new day breaks, child, you will be on your own
Now my darling girl, I did love you true
But I could not be good to you
And love you too
And love you too

We had good days, they were few and far in between
I was just a kid when you needed a man out of me
But I hung around, hoping one day that I would grow
Into the coat of a suit that I ain't never worn
Now my darling, I hope you understand
The best thing I could do for you is to be leaving
So when that morning comes, I will be gone
When your new day breaks, child, you will be on your own
Now my darling one, I did love you true
But I could not be good to you
And love you too

When that morning comes, I will be gone
When your new day breaks, child, you will be on your own
Now my darling one, I did love you true
But I could not be good to you
I could not be good to you
And love you too
And love you too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
