Leila Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
She left my ex best friend out 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

[Chorus]
Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high
And everything will be alright

[Instrumental Break 1:11-1:47]

[Verse 3]
You know I love you girl more than I can say
I still think about you each and every day
My lonesome old heart still feels the same
So Leila won't you steal away
[Chorus]
Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high
And everything will be alright

[Outro]
Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high
And everything will be alright

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
