It's been so lonely in this old town
But not so much when you come around
Your stopping by brightens up my day
So much so I wish, I wish you could stay
Staying with me would bring me delight
Staying with me would fill me with light

We could sit and talk or watch TV
Or go for a walk, that works for me
Think about it while I brew up some tea
Oh how I wish, I wish you could stay with me
Staying with me would bring me delight
Staying with me would fill me with light

We could write poems short stories too
Turn them into songs....that would be fun to do
Who knows? we might even write a play
We'll make our own music and call it..... Please Stay
Staying with me would bring me delight
Staying with me would fill me with light

But it's that time now and I know
You will leave now and you will go
I know you must be on your way
Oh how I wish I wish you could stay

It's always so lonely in this old town
But that disappears when you come around
Your stopping by brightens up my day
So much so I wish, I wish you could stay
Staying with me would bring me delight
Staying with me would fill me with light
I wish you could stay.
Please stay.
