Lyrics

What if I told you I wanted to stay?
That the thought of living without you was overcast and gray?
That my indifference defense plan was falling apart?
That you’ve pierced through the ramparts protecting my heart?

I know that you’ve tired of guys running you ‘round
But I know when I’m with you I’m tied up…. and spellbound….

But the light from the east will soon whisk you away
Caught in the humdrum of another weekday
Rush off to work while the sun steals the day
I’ll rest here a bit longer…..and wish you would stay

What if I told you I’ve never felt this way
To wake up elated, to sing a new refrain
Not feel guilty, not to feel ashamed
To know you’re the one, if I convinced you to stay

I know that you’ve tired of guys running you ‘round
But when the dawn breaks my darkness will you be around?

But the light from the east will soon whisk you away
Caught in the humdrum of another weekday
Rush off to work while the sun steals the day
I’ll rest here a bit longer…..and wish you would stay

I can’t find the nerve, or the right set of words
To prove I’m the one to run off with your heart
But in the light of this morning, while I lie here in yearning, could I tell you I love you? Would that be a start?

What if I... wanted to stay?
