From the recordings This Is Who I Am and This Is Who I Am
You can definitely hear the Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette influence in this classic country song. If Patsy and Tammy were alive today, this is probably how they would have sung it.

The Things You Left Behind
Susan Rose
C 1994
Verse 1
I look out the window at the light I left on
Waiting for someone who’s not coming home
Hoping and praying you might change your mind
And come back for a few things that you left behind
Verse2
Your shirt is still hangin’ on the back of my door
And the jacket I bought you lying there on the floor
Someday you’ll be lookin’ or something you just can’t find
And come back for a few things that you left behind
Bridge
A headache, a heartache, a room full of tears
Are among just the few things you left with me here
Verse 3
When true love is something that you just can’t find
You’ll come back for a few things that you left behind
Tag
You’ll come back for a few things that you left behind
