Won't You Stay
Well here I sit and write this song
I've kept the best words all along
And tried to tell you they just keep getting lost
Some broken dreams can be replaced
Some broken hearts by love's sweet taste
Forgive me if I'm taking very long
Please bear in mind the things I've seen
And if my record's less than clean
It doesn't mean the feeling isn't true
Mistakes I've made help me to grow
So I can hold you close
And know that I have never loved as I love you
Won't you stay and help me fill the night
Can't you see you've helped to fill my life
Your eyes are reaching out to me
Take my hand I hold the key
And lie here with me in the candlelight
Close the door on yesterday
And there'll be time for things you need to say
For tomorrow may not ever come
Tonight we'll live and love as one
I need you here beside me won't you stay
Won't you stay and help me fill the night
Can't you see you've helped to fill my life
Your eyes are reaching out to me
Take my hand I hold the key
And lie here with me in the candlelight
