Story Behind The Song
This what I call a love trilogy. The music and the melody are the same, but the words in each of the three songs are different and the storytelling progresses. It's like a three-act play. This is Act Three.
Song Description
In Act One, he falls in love. In Act Two, she leaves, moves away, he follows her, and asks her to return to him. In this Act Three, she agrees and all is well once again. The story has a happy ending.

Lyrics
VERSE
When you went away that day, I knew I would follow you
You were surprised to see me there; I knew what I had to do
Was make you fall in love with me and come home where you belong
When you looked at me, I could see, you knew my love was strong
CHORUS
Now that you're back, no more feet of clay
For keeps, it'll be a love song
Everything right; nothin' is gonna be wrong
'Cause now you're here to stay
VERSE
Lookin' back, I can't believe all this; how it's all come to be
First thing, I fell in love with you; then you set yourself free
But I would not let love be denied; I found you on the run
You couldn't help but come home with me; all you're runnin' done
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Sometimes it takes a strong heart to lead the way
Now everything's good; love gonna win the day
Repeat CHORUS
RIDE
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
'Cause I know you're here to stay
