Stay Awhile

Hell on earth ain't hard to find But you can save me from mine Stop the time's bayonet From stabbing all that's delicate I won't be afraid of growing old If I have your hand to hold I'm looking for eternity Will you find it with me Please, stay awhile Show me how to smile Please, stay awhile I am not a great man But I'll give you all I can I'll be the lashes on your eyes Catch every tear that you cry Please, stay awhile Show me how to smile Please, stay awhile Let's fill this room with empty coffee cups So we don't ever have to go to sleep Because if I close my eyes I fear tomorrow won't let this day repeat My life's been filled with turned out lights Haunted by the hurt of closing doors Let's turn the locks and lose the keys I don't want them open anymore (anymore) Well I see you in an antique wedding gown And me slowly walking down the aisle Can you see us now? And won't you be the mother of my child I can see you every time she smiles I love your smile So please, stay awhile Please stay, awhile
