Stay the Night

Lyrics

We were young, yeah,
Down by the riverside,
Runnin’ wild, boy,
Making love every night.

Caught alone in a haze,
Without thinking,
All I saw was your face,
And you were drinking.

Stuck alone in a stone,
My heart was sinking,
Frozen hard, on my own,
While you kept drinking.

If you would only stay the night,
You’d probably see,
That things could turn out alright
Between you and me.

And that time in that
Big black stretch limousine,
Got you laughing,
Your secrets,
And everything.

Rolling ’round on the ground,
Without a care,
We were wild,
Together,
We were right there.

If you would only stay the night,
You’d probably see,
That things could turn out alright
Between you and me.

But time’s a thief, it moves too fast,
Stealing moments we thought would last.
Now I’m here, but you’ve gone away,
Still holding out for yesterday.

If you would only stay the night,
You’d probably see,
That things could turn out alright
Between you and me.

So won’t you stay, just for tonight?
Let’s chase the dark, we’ll make it light.
You and me, it’s all we need—
Let’s find the love we used to breathe.
