Lyrics to I'll Stay

Happy times, like pens and dimes

They slip away, you turn around

They're gone one day, but I'll stay

Empty words, like winter birds

They leave the nest, they join the rest

Then fly away, but I'll stay

I'll be there in the morning

When you wake up, I'll be by your side

I'll be there in the evening

With your soul in mine

I'll be there in the morning

From the moment you begin to rise

I'll be there in the evening

Keep you satisfied, satisfied

Fairweather friends, like tempest winds

They roll along, they sing their songs

Then blow away, but I'll stay

I'll be there in the morning

When you wake up, I'll be by your side

I'll be there in the evening

With your soul in mine

I'll be there in the morning

From the moment you begin to rise

I'll be there in the evening

Keep you satisfied, satisfied

One by one, they'll all be gone

But every day and in every way and for always, I'll stay

Feelings worn like pages torn

And near the end the ink begins

To fade away, but I'll stay, I'll stay
