Lyrics

You Stay (Mike Lusk)

Verse 1
There's a look in your eye, a tone like you speak
To a stranger
Puts distance between us, a widening space
That spells danger
The danger of being a girl
With so much life to live
The wonder to me you're still here where I've little to give
Yes the danger of being a girl
With so much life to live
Hey, the wonder to me you're still here where I've little to give

Chorus
Your heart's full of passion
Beyond my old-fashioned
Set way
You've more life to live
Than I have left to give
Yet you stay
Much more life to live
Than I have left to give
Yet you stay
Yes
You stay
Verse 2
Seems to me that you're yearning to find for yourself
Where the road goes
That winds past our door, begging you to explore
How the grass grows
It grows greener the further you see as you stand
On your tiptoes
And the taller you stand, please forgive this old man
But your slip shows
Yes the taller you stand please forgive this old man
But your slip shows
Chorus
Shows beauty and passion
Beyond my old-fashioned
Set way
So much life to live
There's not much I can give
Yet you stay
So much life to live
Nothing new I can give
Yet you stay
Yes
You stay
Verse 3
What's that smile on your face, a smile like you're
Flirting with danger
Despite years between us, you don't think of me
As a stranger
The smile of a happy girl
Blessed with so much love to give
Contentment you're here close to me with so much
Life to live
I grow younger the more that you smile and stand up
On your tiptoes
Yes, the taller you stand, please forgive this old man
But your slip shows
Wicked look in your eye like you're teasing me
Flirting with danger
Decided you fall for me best with pretence
I'm a stranger
Keeps me younger the more you pretend and stand tall
On your tiptoes
Yes, the taller you stand, please forgive this old man
But your slip shows

Chorus
Your heart's full of passion
Despite my old-fashioned
Set way
Sincere love to give
For as long as I live
So you stay
Yes sincere love to give
Every day that I live
So you stay
So you stay
So you stay
So you stay
So you stay
So you stay
So you stay
Yes
You stay
