She had a look in her eye
That could make you melt
Made me feel better than I ever felt
But bless her heart, she couldn't stay
I begged her not to go away
She met my ex-best friend
Down in old Tucson
Told me she was leaving
And would be rolling on
Now the days just pass on by
Losing her is the reason why
Leila, Leila, you're mine
We'll be flying high
And everything will be alright
You know I love you, girl
More than I can say
Well still I think about you
Each and every day
My lonesome old heart
Still feels the same
So Leila, won't you steal away
Leila, Leila, you're mine
We'll be flying high
And everything will be alright
Leila, Leila, you're mine
We'll be flying high
And everything will be alright
