I want you to stay
Work is piling up
On my desk
I sit here
Looking around
Just like the rest
My mind is on the last
That we talked
In a stressful world
Of hate and lies
Just thinking about it
Brings tears to my eyes
But when
I think of you
I don't want to cry
Or say goodbye
You give me a reason
To want to change my ways
Your loving words
Always brighten my day
When I'm around you
I can think
Of what I need to say
I want you to stay
Day is night
And night is day
Time continues on
Come what may
You are over there
So far away
So far away
All we have
Is our words
No voice, no touch
Nothing is heard
Our time together
Is built on a fantasy
Of how things could be
You give me a reason
To want to change my ways
Your loving words
Always brighten my day
When I'm around you
I can think of what
I need to say
I want you to stay
Only time will tell
What the future holds
Nothing is a guarantee
Oh I don't want to grow old
Without you
I want you to stay
You give me a reason
To want to change my ways
Your loving words
Always brighten my day
When I'm around you
I can think
Of what I need to say
I want you to stay
Don't go away.....
