Lyrics

Stay
Words and Music by Ethel Fitzjohn

V1
I know that something?s wrong
Things are not as good as
They used to be
We used to have such fun
We would laugh and joke
And you would smile at me

Bridge 1
Suddenly, my heart leaps into my mouth
You say the very words I don?t want to hear?

Chorus
You say you?re leaving me
Seems like all my nightmares have come true
Why must you leave me this way
Why don?t you stay?
Baby, please don?t go
Don?t break my heart in two
I can?t find the right words I must say
To make you stay?

V2
I?ve given you everything
My heart, my soul
And my devotion too
Why can?t we work things out
There is nothing in this world
I wouldn?t do for you

Bridge 2
How can you stand there, cold as ice
Your hurtful words ringing in my ears?

Chorus
You say you?re leaving me
Seems like all my nightmares have come true
Why must you leave me this way
Why don?t you stay?
Baby, please don?t go
Don?t break my heart in two
I can?t find the right words I must say
To make you stay?

Repeat chorus

Coda
Baby, please stay, I?m begging, you, begging you please stay, oooh, please stay.
