If I could I would but you know I can't lie to you
If I could I'd say if you 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

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

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

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

You only cross my mind every second everyday
I need to unwind before I fade away

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 and don't let go until I say so
