Songfacts®:

  • Madonna Nash wrote this slow Country & Western number for a friend, a military wife. In February 2013, Rudy Fernandez of Kean Radio wrote:

    "The song struck a nerve with me because I remember when I was a kid, mom saying the very same thing to my dad before he was deployed to Vietnam."

    Running to 3 minutes 57 seconds, "Don't Leave" is the 10th track on her eponymous 2010 album. >>>
