Lyrics
Reason To Stay
By Ralinda Owens
Note: I am flexible and willing to change any part of the song to meet your criteria;
please, give it a chance.
Verse 1
We had it all, a purpose, a reason to be. But as time passed, our reasons slipped away
You had your friends and I went my own way. So, now, we need a reason to stay.
(Chorus)
Need speaks its own language; well, I need you
These rooms need your footsteps; our house needs your touch
The walls need your whispers, and I need your love
I?ll miss you if you go away; and you need a reason to stay.
Verse 2
I want it back, the good life, a happy family. When I wake up, I want you smiling at me
I want to feel like we?re on our first date. I know we have a reason to stay.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
What?s with all this driftin?? I don?t want to be apart
I want to stay connected; and give you my heart (give you my heart)
(Chorus)
Reason To Stay, Ralinda Owens
