[Verse]
If I've no will to go from home
Or have no urge the seas to roam
Or turn my back on a distant star
And never burn to wander far
It's not because of fear
It's because my goal is clear
[Chorus]
There's a far land, I'm told
Where I'll find a field of gold
But here I'll stay with you
And they say there's an isle deep with clover
Where your heart wears a smile all day through
But I know well they're wrong
And I know where I belong
And here I'll stay with you
For that land is a sandy illusion
It's the theme of a dream gone astray
And the world others woo
I can find loving you
And so here I'll stay
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
For that land is a sandy illusion
It's the theme of a dream gone astray
And the world others woo
I can find loving you
And so here I'll stay
Here I’ll Stay was written by Kurt Weill & Alan Jay Lerner.
