Song Description

part lament over a life of failure in love, and a final hope for change

Lyrics

I once had a man who wanted to lasoo the moon for me
But soon he was gone like others in a long, frustrating history
Pretty faces and the words they say
Ain't brought me the one thing I wanted:
Someone Who'll Stay

When I was a girl, I looked to the day a man would share my dreams.
I never could have known at this stage I'd exhaust so many possibilities.
And like dandelions blew away
Those dreams on every wind but one that leads to
Someone Who'll Stay

Now I ain't no trouble, I come pretty self-contained,
A woman of independent means.
You'd think it would be easy to find someone who's right for me,
Who'll fight for me and throw his hat in the ring.

So the next time I am told I'm perfect, you'll forgive me if I wait and see...
This fool has had enough of rushing in just to lose another love not meant to be.
'Cause I'd rather be alone than captivate
The man in trepidation he's becoming
Someone Who'll Stay.

And if prayers are answered some fine day
I won't regret that all my life I waited for
Someone Who'll Stay.
