Lucero - I Can't Stand To Leave You Lyrics






I see your face when I close my eyes.
I hear your name when the wind's just right.
The setting sun is gone once more.
Each night is worse than the night before.

Now I can't stand to leave you, I can't take the weight of this world on my own.
And I don't know what I'll do, I don't think that I can make it all alone.

They say all can heal with time
That don't mean much to me tonight
Like city streets your eyes shine
And I'm lost out here with the losing kind

And I can't stand to leave you I can't take the weight of this world on my own.
I don't know what I'll do I don't think that I can make it all alone

Yes, I've felt this kinda pain. A hole straight through my chest.
Yes, I've felt this kinda pain. Seems now it's all that's left.
The songs they're never far away. Seems now it's all that's left.

Every song I hear. Your voice sings. The words are clear. Come back to me.
Come back to me, my only one. Come back to me. Your work is done.

I can't stand to leave you I can't take the weight of this world on my own.
And I don't know what I'll do I don't think that I can make it all alone.

  20. S.... J....

    I travel to other states for work, so as an Arkansas born and raised native, Ben and Luceros music make me so homesick.

  21. K.... C....

    It used to be Paul Walker I'd want a free pass with if I was married....now it's THIS MAN right here. I can't wait to see him live...voice, mind, body, soul. Seriously the sexiest man alive

  22. C.... C....

    grrrrr who makes that much of an impact ...its been years..close to 10

  23. H.... F....

    My now ex wife introduced me to this group when we first met, she loved "My best girl" and played it constantly. Ironic, going through our divorce I listened to this group more and more and memorized the lyrics to their songs trying to deal with life and the hole in my life while staring at the bottom of a never ending empty bottle. Its like Bens lyrics express a side to everyone, everything pent up inside that you either can't or won't let out, and things get better. Not necessarily easier, but better. And if you keep chugging along, one day you will find that you accomplished things you never thought you would actually achieve while your life went on.

    H.... F....

    Amen brother.

    H.... F....

    It does get better and it does get worse. I guess you just take each part of those and build your life, each step away and toward. Just found this band at a step for me. That’s the grace of music. It gives us that chance. Good graces to you.

  24. T.... ....

    Impressive

  25. L.... D....

    Love their music a hell yea

  26. T.... B....

    I'm pretty sure it's impossible for Ben Nichols to make any music that's anything short of amazing.

  27. J.... C....

    I miss you Julia R.

  28. B.... ....

    I was strung out and had lost my mind last year, when I decided to get clean and go home to my family this song always got me through the rough patches. It's very soothing.

  29. I.... S....

    is there a lesson to learn this on guitar

  30. J.... D....

    I don't like country, but Lucero and Chris Stapleton are my all time favorite artists.

    J.... D....

    JESSE D try Jason Isbell...

    J.... D....

    Can't put some music in cookie cutters darlin

  31. A.... ....

    Lucero is so under rated its sad.

    A.... ....

    Yeah but maybe that's what keeps them cool. Sadly, look at Lucinda Williams, The Hold Steady and Frank Turner. True gems.

  32. B.... T....

    please come to standbridge-east qc. Canada! I'll just fall , changed my life ...thank you , your passion inspires me.....do you have a set of strings to suggest to me? and are they the ones you use?

  33. D.... S....

    lucero and dallas green must play together!!!

  34. L.... W....

    Fantastic video, thank you!

  35. N.... ....

    Damn good.

  36. L.... -....

    All the feels. Been a while since I've heard this one.

  37. Y.... ....

    Any idea what kind of guitar that is?

    Y.... ....

    +Ylex That is a Takamine, one of the discontinued Dreadnought models but I believe he is now using a Martin &Co 000-15M

    Y.... ....

    @Esteban Arias Many thanks for your answer! :)

    Y.... ....

    Check out the Takamine G series, model no. EG5403S

  38. J.... D....

    My buddy & I throw songs back & forth for each to hear understand the mood of the minute. This song... This song made me feel. understand this man. Thank you.

  39. M.... S....

    Hits home right about now.....

    M.... S....

    Been there, brother

  40. m.... ....

    absolutely gorgeous.

  41. p.... ....

    very very special human being

  42. A.... M....

    The 11 people that disliked this need to be throat punched! Ben is a lyrical genius and you can hear his pain in his voice and the poetics that lay in his lyrics! Come back to ky!!!

    A.... M....

    @***** ass

    A.... M....

    i saw them last night in lex they were great

    A.... M....

    SUPER in Knoxville 2/23/18! I wish I was in Chat tonight

  43. p.... ....

    love this

  44. C.... B....

    By far the best band around. Ben is unparalleled in his lyrics and vocal expression. If only we could aspire to be half as great. Lucero is literally a class of their own.

  45. M.... A....

    A punch to the gut never felt so good.

    M.... A....

    Agreed.

    M.... A....

    A hole straight through my chest

    M.... A....

    You've never met my ex.

  46. J.... I....

    Paint my memories..for my words fail me....

  47. J.... C....

    Love seeing them live!

  48. t.... ....

    There has never been music like this before, and when lucero is gone, there will never be music like this again. I try to catch them live as much as I can. They are something special

    t.... ....

    Madison, WI 4/6/16 -- I'll be there

    t.... ....

    Couldn't agree more! Absolutely amazing

  49. L.... R....

    Hate that I missed the concert in May at Headliners. Come back to KY!!!!

  50. B.... D....

    Rick makes that accordion sing. So great

    B.... D....

    Bethany Dixon This might be one of their best songs ever made

  51. N.... S....

    Find the ground. Kick it clean. Ride that darkness. Ride it mean.

  52. D.... b....

    I hear your name when the winds just right. That is so haunting and perfect.

  53. B.... H....

    They are amazing!!

  54. M.... J....

    I really wish he wouldn't make me fell it though...

  55. B.... S....

    Amazing, simply amazing!!!

  56. C.... l....

    i love these guys, they are so great, and he is actually able to make you feel the song, not many people can these days

  57. c.... ....

    real musicians!
    great to see them

  58. D.... G....

    You can find websites that can rip the video or audio from youtube videos

  59. S.... K....

    God I wish I could buy this version! SO FUCKING GOOD!

  60. G.... B....

    Such a great song. Ben's lyrics and vocals combined with Good ol' Rick on that accordion.. Adjectives fail me.

  61. B.... S....

    Love it!

  62. S.... R....

    i love ben's voice
