“Stay” was the only single released from Once Upon Another Time. It is quite slow, and is about not wanting a lover to leave you.
[Verse 1]
Saturday, empty room, filled with people
It don't mean a thing to
You and I, holding hands
Nobody knows, nobody understands
I don't care for sunlight
That only means it's over
And I'm in no mood for that
[Chorus]
Stay tonight
Don't come morning, don't come light
They may be lies, say it, say that we'll be alright
If we stay tonight
[Verse 2]
My hands are shaking
This is a complicated love with me
Keep your eyes closed, I've seen it baby
I've seen where this goes
[Chorus]
Stay tonight
Don't come morning, don't come light
They may be lies, but say that we'll be alright
If we stay tonight
[Verse 3]
Gonna feel it baby
Oh I don't wanna cry
I know we'll get to tomorrow and say goodbye
That's what I'm asking for
Tonight
[Chorus]
Stay tonight
Don't come morning, don't come light
They may be lies but say that we'll be alright
Say that we're gonna be alright
Tonight
