Lyrics
Stay song by Kelly Pettit
Lyrics by Kelly Pettit & Ross Janes
I remember the first time that we met
As simple as it was I can't forget
The bar, the band and last song
We got close and then the lights came on
In the blink of an eye, we said good-bye
Summer blew through here way to fast
Took my images that I thought would last
The color, the tint, and the hue
Just shades of grey without you
All that's left right now is the frame
I should have kissed you then before you left that day
I should have said, "Don't go" but my fears got in the way
I should have told you what I really wanted to say
Be mine for all time. Stay.
So many times I tried but was lost for words
Suppressed my feelings until they hurt
Afraid to find your real thoughts
Rejection tied me up in knots
Now I'll never know if it's real
I should have kissed you then before you left that day
I should have said, "Don't go" but my fears got in the way
I should have told you what I really wanted to say
Be mine for all time. Stay.
