Lyrics for My Beautiful Leah

Did you see her walking? Did she come around here, sir? Black hair, brown eyes My beautiful Leah She was always so needing Said, I have no one Even as I held her She went out looking for someone Looking for someone She only had nightmares And her sadness never lifted And slowly over the years Her lovely face twisted Did she come around here, sir? I swear you would remember Black hair, brown eyes Late September October November December It never leaves my mind The last words she said If I don't find it this time Then I'm better off dead
