I found this song as my mom in hospice care at our home. I would lay on my bed after my brother and sister arrived spelling each other...it was a 72 hr transition. My mom and I were very closes I was there for her as she was losing her sight. This song by Paloma sums it for me. Thank You for this wonderful bittersweet song.
This woman is a star , just discovered Paloma by accident and have been listening avidly to everything she has done , she is such a wonderful singer and her enunciation is so clear , her range and her creativity are outstanding , thanks so much Paloma, you bring me such joy !
This was from December 2014. Beauty Remains was released as a single in late February or March 2015. Paloma was stunning in this performance. I don't think she has ever looked more beautiful.
Paloma's ability to convey a wide range of emotion is what I like best about her music. Whether it's hurt and sadness as in this song, absolute joy in songs like "Upside Down" or "Freedom," or any shade in between, she is always spot on and totally convincing.
Mark Sieving I fell in love with her music when I first heard 'upside down'. That still remains one of my favourites. Also, her rendition of the INXS song 'Never tear us apart' is fantastic. I personally can't think of any other female artist who could pull off such an outstanding remake!
I can't believe this song, I just love it so much, I've been listening every minute since I first heard it a week ago. I just discovered Paloma, and I just love her, my favorite female artist now
Lyrics If you're gonna leave You're gonna leave my heart in pieces If you're gonna go Then you're gonna be the reason why I I I cry If this is goodbye Then you're gonna leave me shattered You're gonna take away Only everything that matters I I I might die So if you go Leave while I'm not looking Do it fast Oh please don't kill me slow Leave while I'm not looking Go silently So my heart won't know Leave while I'm not looking 'Cause I can't watch you go Watch you go Watch you go If this is the end Then it's only gonna end me You rip my heart apart There ain't nothing gonna mend me I I I won't lie If you walk away Then baby I don't wanna see it You're gonna take away Only all I've ever needed I I I might die So if you go Leave while I'm not looking Do it fast Oh please don't kill me slow Leave while I'm not looking Go silently So my heart won't know Leave while I'm not looking 'Cause I can't watch you go Watch you go Watch you go (Please) Have some mercy You hurt me more than you know So if you go Leave while I'm not looking Do it fast Oh please don't kill me slow Leave while I'm not looking Go silently So my heart won't know Leave while I'm not looking 'Cause I I I can't stand to see you go I oh I can't stand to see you go Watch you go Watch you go, oh no Watch you go Watch you go Can't stand to see you go!
Paloma does pretty well in the UK and, I think Australia. I'm American, and I think it's downright criminal how neglected she is here. But The Umbrella Academy on Netflix seems to be bringing her some new fans.
"Leave While I'm Not Looking" If you're gonna leave You're gonna leave my heart in pieces If you're gonna go Then you're gonna be the reason why I-I-I cry If this is goodbye Then you''re gonna leave me shattered You're gonna take away Only everything that matters I-I-I might die So if you go Leave while I'm not looking Do it fast Oh please don't kill me slow Leave while I'm not looking Go silently So my heart won't know Leave while I'm not looking Cause I can't watch you go Watch you go Watch you go If this is the end Then it's only gonna end me You rip my heart apart There ain't nothing gonna mend me I-I-I won't lie If you walk away Then baby I don't wanna see it You're gonna take away Only all I've ever needed I-I-I might die So if you go Leave while I'm not looking Do it fast Oh please don't kill me slow Leave while I'm not looking Go silently So my heart won't know Leave while I'm not looking Cause I can't watch you go Watch you go Watch you go (Pleaase) Have some mercy You hurt me more than you know So if you go Leave while I'm not looking Do it fast Oh please don't kill me slow Leave while I'm not looking Go silently So my heart won't know Leave while I'm not looking Cause I-I-I can't stand to see you go I-I-I oh I can't stand to see you go Watch you go Watch you go, oh no Watch you go Watch you go
