Don't You Know as performed by Jeff Buckley

Don’t You Know by Nina Simone

(but I love, love, love the cover by Jeff Buckley performed at Sin-é (pronounced Shih-nay) coffee house in NYC in 1993. That was the version I was listening to when I thought to submit this as the song of the week. It reminds me of Bella when Edward leaves her in New Moon.)

If you knew how I missed you
You would not stay away today.
Don’t you know how I need you.
Stay here, my dear, with me.

I need you here beside me
Forever and a day, a day.
Together never parting
Just you, just me my love.

I can’t go on without you,
Your love is all I’m living for.
I love all things about you,
Your heart, your soul, my love

I can’t go on without you,
Forever and a day, a day.
I need you here beside me
Forever and a day, a day.

I know whatever betides me,
I love you, I love you, I do.
I do.

(from merriam-webster:
betides - to happen especially as if by fate)
