Lyrics

[00:00.00] She\'s Leaving Home
[00:01.64] Lennon/McCartney
[00:06.50] Wednesday morning at five o\'clock
[00:11.20] as the day begins
[00:17.17] Silently closing her bedroom door
[00:22.91] Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
[00:27.74] She goes downstairs to the kitchen
[00:33.00] clutching her handkerchief
[00:40.00] Quietly turning the back door key
[00:45.02] Stepping outside she is free
[00:49.09]
[00:50.91] She (we gave her most of our lives)
[00:55.81] is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
[01:02.03] home (we gave her everything money could buy)
[01:08.04] She\'s leaving home after living alone for
[01:14.20] so many years (bye bye)
[01:17.79]
[01:18.23] Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
[01:25.45] Picks up the letter that\'s lying there
[01:34.17] Standing alone at the top of the stairs
[01:40.28] She breaks down and cries to her husband
[01:45.70] Daddy our baby\'s gone
[01:52.04] Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
[01:58.62] How could she do this to me
[02:03.38]
[02:04.43] She (We never thought of ourselves)
[02:09.59] is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
[02:15.46] home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
[02:21.68] She\'s leaving home after living alone for
[02:27.31] so many years (bye bye)
[02:29.99]
[02:31.27] Friday morning at nine o\'clock she is far away
[02:42.86] Waiting to keep the appointment she made
[02:48.26] Meeting a man from the motor trade
[02:53.59]
[02:54.27] She (what did we do that was wrong)
[02:59.36] is having (we didn\'t know it was wrong)
[03:04.97] fun (fun is the one thing that money can\'t buy)
[03:11.01] Something inside that was always denied for
[03:15.90] so many years (bye bye)
[03:22.10] She\'s leaving home (bye bye)
[03:30.78]
