I Stayed Long Enough
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Accident'ly in your arms and that's all it took
Knowing how you want and need me from just one look
To leave you now is something you should know that I can do
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Long enough to know that what I feel won't go away
And just lookin' won't be near enough after today
Everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
[ steel ]
Yes everything I need...
Stayed just long enough to fall in love with you
