Stay With Me Lyrics

(words and music by Howie Lucero © 1984)

Remember when we trained our hearts to never feel this way?
Like a true Beret, it comes to me, but he would stand brave, and I cry.
Stay with me one more night, and stay one more day.
Stay with me one more night, and stay one more day.
Stay one more night.
The chemistry of faith: two parts, no measure nor a weight.
The elements do change, like you and me, but how do I say stay?
Stay with me one more night, and stay one more day.
Stay with me one more night, and stay one more day.
Stay one more night.
A thousand pleas if I've one more,
but a million sorrows chase you through the door.
Now, if you leave I cannot look,
so tear the page from my unfinished book.

(inst.)
So many times I've prayed my heart would never feel this way.
Like a true Beret, it comes to me that I should stand brave.
Even if we break our hearts to never heal again,
and howsoever great the tragedy, I will still say, "Wait."
Stay with me one more night, and stay one more day.
Stay with me one more night, and stay one more day.
Stay one more night.
(repeat)
