All backups join in on "Please stay" Don't go (Please stay) Don't go (Please stay) If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms Would you walk out the door like you did once before? Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay? Don't go (Please stay) Don't go If I called out your name like a prayer in the night Would you leave me alone with my tears? Knowing I-I, I love you so-o, would you still turn and go? Or would this time be different in some wa-a-ay? Don't go (Please stay) (Please stay) You took me away from the rest of the world When you taught me to love you like this Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom But I still can be saved.. by your kiss If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms Would you walk out the door like you did once before? Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay? (Don't go) (Please stay) (Don't go) (Please stay) (Don't go) (Please sta-ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay) |
