Lawrence can currently be seen in the ABC Family original comedy series Melissa & Joey, whose 2010 premiere holds the honor of being the network’s most-watched comedy series debut ever, co-starring with Melissa Joan Hart.
Joey Lawrence has long had a knack for capturing the musical zeitgeist. At age 16, he began a recording career and in 1993 he released a self-titled debut album. The album was produced by Terry Lupton, Ian Prince and Teddy Riley. Lawrence also co-wrote songs on the album, including the international hit single Nothin’ My Love Can’t Fix (Billboard Hot 100 Airplay #6, Billboard Top 40 Mainstream #10, Billboard Hot 100 #19).
Lawrence has always said music was his real passion. “It's been way too long since I've brought some new music out to my fans. I'm really excited about my brand new record. I had the privilege to write this entire record with super-producer Matthew Gerrard. We first started collaborating about a year ago and instantly connected on many levels with our music. We just kept going and going–and 9 months later had a complete record.”
Producer and co-writer Gerrard, whose chart-topping artists include Delta Goodrem, Kelly Clarkson, and Hannah Montana, says “Joey’s new album is awesome. Radio ready hits that will make you wanna dance. Bumpin’ tracks and killer vocals!” Lawrence explains: “My music is all about feeling good. It's time to get back to having fun. That's what I want my music and tour to be all about. I truly can't wait to release the record and get out there and perform the crap out of my new songs!!” (His dancing prowess is an audience favorite, too, with appearances on “Dancing with the Stars,” the TLC series “Masters of Dance,” and in the Broadway hit Chicago as Billy Flynn.)
Stay Forever
Joey Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can see your face, mirrored in my mind
I have to wonder, is this just a dream?
Are you thinking of me looking through your window too?
And I'll make a wish and send it out to you
I've got all my heart and all my love to give
I didn't mean to make you hurt or make you cry
I still feel this love, girl, deep inside...
I wanna stay forever with you
Feeling every heartbeat so close to mine
I wanna stay forever with you
Holding on to every breath
Stay forever with you
I remember all those endless nights
And we'd look into each other's eyes
Making everything alright
And every kiss would go on for eternity
The feeling of your touch would take my breath away
Oh, and I'll make a wish and send it out to you
I've got all my love and all my heart to give
And it's hard to feel it girl but I feel it too
Don't wanna live my life without you
I wanna stay forever with you
Feeling every heartbeat so close to mine
I wanna stay forever with you
Holding on to every breath
Stay forever with you
Even though we're apart, girl
I feel so close to your heart And now time is standing still
Waiting for you
I wanna stay forever with you
Feeling every heartbeat so close to mine
I wanna stay forever with you
Holding on to every breath
Stay forever with you (stay forever with you)
I wanna stay forever (feeling every heartbeat)
You know it's true
I love you
Stay forever with you (I wanna stay forever)
Holding on to every breath
Stay forever...
Stay forever with you...
I need you, my baby
Feeling every heartbeat
You know it's true...
I love you...
The song "Stay Forever" by Joey Lawrence, is a romantic ballad about a past love that the singer wants to hold onto forever. The song opens with the sound of rain falling outside the window, setting a melancholic mood. He is thinking of someone he loves and wonders if she feels the same way, looking out of her window. He sends a wish out, hoping that she can feel his love for her. The singer reminisces on the times they spent together, looking into each other's eyes, and holding onto each kiss, cherished moments he wants to keep forever. He acknowledges that he has hurt her and made her cry, but he still loves her deeply.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to stay together forever, feeling each other's hearts beat and holding onto every breath. The bridge reflects on the distance between them, but the love the singer has for her makes him feel as though they are together every moment. The song ends with a heartfelt declaration of love and a plea for her to stay with him.
The lyrics give the listener a sense of yearning and longing for lost love. The use of rain and the theme of distance add to the melancholic mood, but the singer's determination to hold onto the love he has for the other person is the focus of the song.
