Poison - Stay With Me lyrics

rate me

Vietnam was '66

Two best friends take a bad hit

And never saw it come

But it's all there

One was a rich boy, a doctors son

The other the father of a girl age one

Never had the change to hold his daughters hand

New York flat in '76

Two girlfriends shoot a bad fix

Never woke up saw heaven before it saw them

One was a daughter of a prominent man

The other the mother of a girl age ten

Who walked in and saw mama sleeping in Gods hands

And she cried

Chorus

Stay with me

Mama won't you stay here with me

You promised you would never leave

Stay with me

Oh won't you stay here with me

Mama, hold my had and stay with me

Years go by, the girl's 23

Had a rough go, but she's on her feet

The man so rough

A few good years, a wedding ring

Wasn't enough to fulfill his dreams

He came home from work one day and said I'm leaving you

She cried...

Chorus

Stay with me, honey

Won't you stay right here with me

You promised you would never leave

Stay with me, whoa whoa

Stay right here with me

Won't you hold my hand stay with me

Emergency room, number four

A woman cried out as the child is born

She stares into eyes and says

My life's had it's ups and downs

But for yours I will be around

I will always be around

And she cried

Chorus

Stay with me, whoa whoa

Won't you stay right here with me

I promise I will never leave

Stay with me, oh

Won't you stay right here with me

Child, you hold my had stay with me

Child, you hold my hand stay with me.
