Stay Songtext
von Alan Doyle

You′ve gotta go
Barbie doll castles are closing down
You're off to the show
And I′d never tell you to turn around now
Remember your coat, I
Remember the winter that you came around
Before you hit the road
Why don't you dance with me now?

Why don't you stay?
The song only lasts for so long
All I can say
Is I′ll miss you the moment you′re gone
So show me that smile and hang for awhile
You're headed a lifetime away
Why don′t you stay?


Don't draw the shades
Let the king lie in the setting sun
I′ve got so much to say now
It's funny the days when the courage comes
Before you fly away
Know it goes on, everything you′ve begun
The band is still playing
Why don't we wait till they're done?

Why don′t you stay?
The song only lasts for so long
All I can say
Is I′ll miss you the moment you're gone
So show me that smile and hang for awhile
You′re headed a lifetime away
Why don't you stay?

One more for the road
Some soldiers won′t die 'til the light of day
And drinking alone, is
For only the loneliest anyway
So here′s to the ghosts
And here's to the games that we lost and we loved
We come and we go
But a lifetime is never enough


Why don't you stay?
The song only lasts for so long
All I can say
Is I′ll miss you the moment you′re gone
So show me that smile and hang for awhile
You're headed a lifetime away
Why don′t you stay?
