Lyrics
Stay
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.
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.
Never thought I'd ever really love you.
Never thought I'd ever really care.
Every day I think I should be leaving,
But every night there by your side I'd stay.
Now there's been a simple change; gets better every day.
And if I've had to rearrange, well I don't care 'cause with you I'll stay.
Now I know there is a love between us.
Now I know it's gonna keep on growing
Every day I'll keep this love inside me.
So every night there by your side I'll stay.
You said the words you knew
Would make me want to have to need to stay.
Never thought I'd ever really love you,
Never thought I'd ever really care.
Every day I think I should be leaving, I think I'm leaving you.
But every night, there by your side I'd stay.
Stay, stay . . .
