Stay

As I search this heart of mine
For words to tell you
If you give me time I swear
I'll find a way
How I've come to feel about you
I couldn't think of life without you
These words could never say
Like a fool I let my pride mislead me
In this world I call myself a man
But without your love to guide me
Who could ease the pain inside me
Somethin' only you could understand
CHORUS
Stay, please stay
Oh stay, please stay
'Cause I need you by my side
On this long and lonely ride
And there's so much I would give you
If you'd stay
So I search this heart of mine
For words to tell you
If you give me time I swear
I'll find a way
How I've come to feel about you
I couldn't think of life without you
What I'm feeling now
These words could never say
CHORUS
Stay, please stay
Oh stay, please stay
Oh, I need you by my side
On this long and lonely ride
And there's so much I would give you
If you'd stay
There is so much I would give you
If you'd stay
I've got so much love to give you
If you'd stay
Please stay
