Lyrics
Stay
>
> How could I have been so blind that I couldn't see
> What we had was meant to last forever
> I took our perfect summer love
> And turned it in to stormy weather
>
> You say you're leaving but please don't walk away,
> I'll give you one good reason just hear what I gotta say
>
>
> I still want you.
> Please don't take your love a way
> I gotta have you.
> I can't take a single day
> Without you in my life, make a promise tonight
> Won't you say hey hey
> You'll stay
>
> I'll admit that I was wrong
> So please don't leave, all we need us to get along
> I hadn't lived until you walked into my life
> And I can't live without you by my side
>
> They say time can heal a wound but it leaves a scar
> To remind us that the past makes us who we are
>
> Chorus
> Ride ...
>
> You say you're leaving but please don't walk away,
> We've got something special everything will be okay
>
> I still want you.
> Please don't take your love away
> I gotta have you.
> I can't take a single day
> Without you in my life, make a promise tonight
> Won't you say everything's gonna be alright
> Give us one more day
> Won't you say hey hey
> You'll Stay
> Please Stay
