Walk away, please go
Before you throw your life away
A life that I could share for just a day
We should have met some years ago
For your sake I say
Walk away, just go
Walk away, and live
A life that's full
With no regret
Don't look back at me
Just try to forget
Why build a dream that cannot come true
So be strong, reach the stars now
Walk away, walk on
If I heard your voice
I'd beg you to stay
So don't say a word
Just run, run away
Goodbye my love
My tears will fall
Now that you've gone
I can't help but cry
But I must go on
I'm sad that I have, after searching so long
You, I love you, but told you
Walk away, walk on, walk on
About This Song
"Walk Away" by Matt Monro is a poignant ballad about selfless love and sacrifice, where the narrator urges his beloved to leave him for her own good. The song explores themes of unrequited love, timing, and the painful wisdom of letting go when circumstances prevent a relationship from flourishing. Monro's smooth, emotive vocal style perfectly captures the bittersweet resignation and nobility of choosing someone else's happiness over one's own desires. This deeply moving track exemplifies the sophisticated romantic balladry that made Monro one of Britain's most respected crooners.
