Love's Gonna Stay

Story Behind The Song

I had just moved in with my boyfriend and it was the longest relationship I'd ever had...and as I was walking home in the sunshine, so excited to see him and to be creating a home for the first time in my life with someone, I could hardly believe how lucky I was that this time it wasn't going to end in heartache. That for a while, I would get to be in this happy place with a wonderful guy.

Lyrics

Make a pot of coffee
Run a broom across the floor
Change the linens on the bed
Fix that stickin kitchen door
Pick a few fresh flowers and put them in a vase
Play an old recording of Amazing Grace

Put out the extra towels, put on that new dress
Clean out an old closet and make space for a guest
I hope there's enough wine for two
I just was not expecting you
And I really want the place to look its best

Cuz it looks like love's gonna stay a while
Pack away the troubles, stock the pantry up with smiles
Cuz it looks like love's gonna stay a while
No one's more surprised than I
Love's gonna stay a while

Pardon me for blushin, I know that I seem shy
Feelin so unusual and I cannot tell you why
If I open up my mouth all the laughter will come pourin' out
Cuz suddenly there's you and me and darlin that's just fine
It suits me fine

Cuz it looks like love's gonna stay a while
Pack away the troubles, stock the pantry up with smiles
Cuz it looks like love's gonna stay a while
No one's more surprised than I
Love's gonna stay a while
No one's more surprised than I
Love's gonna stay a while
