Hey dear, you know I hate to go Just lay here listening to the radio Upstairs, hiding from the world below The day fading on the dial Downstairs, wait for the mailman On lawn chairs spread across the tableland Somewhere flowerbeds to lay your hand in mine If you stay then I will, time fading on the dial I will always love you like I do I'll always love you like I do The song is fading still it's true When I'm here beside you You said you want a wing to fly A loose thread hanging from the gingham sky We knew that we would have to say goodbye C'mon, if you would then I'd stay The sun pulling in the driveway I will always love you like I do I'll always love you like I do The song is fading still it's true When I'm here beside you I will always love you like I do I'll always love you like I do The song is fading still it's true When I'm here beside you
