[Verse 1]
If I could, I would, but you know I can't lie to you
If I could, I'd say, "If you say so, then I'll say yes"
The sun burns so bright, I can't see the hurt in your eyes
The moon buries itself behind the clouds
I can't tell what you're thinking about
[Chorus]
Will you let me stay for awhile?
Don't forget me, please don't cry
Just hold me close, don't let go until I say so
Will you think of me when you smile?
Do old memories bring tears to your eyes?
Just hold me close, don't let go until I say so
[Verse 2]
If you would, then I would be here for you when you need me
If you would, then I would not do the things that made you leave me
The stars flash and burn out
But I feel your eyes burn into me
The rainbow brightens up the day
And leaves me hanging on to a few words to say
[Chorus]
Will you let me stay for awhile?
Don't forget me, please don't cry
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so
Will you think of me when you smile?
Do old memories bring tears to your eyes?
Just hold me close, don't let go until I say so
[Bridge]
You only cross my mind every second, every day
I need to unwind before I fade away
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Will you let me stay for awhile?
Don't forget me, please don't cry
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so
Will you think of me when you smile?
Do old memories bring tears to your eyes?
Just hold me close, don't let go until I say so
Don't let go until I say so
