(Oh stay)
Stay
Stay
I want to show you
Every single dream I got inside of my mind
I want to love you
Better than you've ever known before
You are my fantasy
You're everything to me
Can't watch you walkin' out my door
So why don't you
Stay - for a minute
Give me one more try
Stay with me I'm falling apart
Baby won't you
Stay - for a minute
Please don't say goodbye
You and me together
Stay in my life
A new beginning
And let nothing come between us ever again
And somehow, I will be singin'
Songs you've never heard before
You are my fantasy
You're everything to me
Can't watch you walkin' out my door
[Chorus]
Give me a second chance
To build a new romance
That's all I'm askin' for tonight, baby
see'mon' and take my hand
And try to understand
You gotta stay in my life..ooh..

LYRICS
All I wanna do is stay
Here's a little light of mine
That I would never dare to find
If you and I didn't collide
All I wanna do is stay
You've taken me by surprise
You brought me back to life
You didn't even have to try
All I wanna do is stay
Yeah, I'm flying away to the birds in LA, and I won't be back
But I promise to you that the miles in between us
Will never change the nights we stayed up
We felt our pain turn into love
A million days couldn't be enough
So I can't stay, stay
All I wanna do is stay
All I wanna do is stay
All I wanna do is stay
Every time I say goodbye
Missing you is hard to hide
But, baby, it's worth the prize
All I wanna do is stay
With confidence in your eyes
You've taken off my disguise
I'll never leave that behind
All I wanna do is stay
Yeah, I'm flying away to the birds in LA, and it hurts so bad
But I promise to you that the miles in between us
Will never change the nights we stayed up
We felt our pain turn into love
A million days couldn't be enough
So I can't stay, stay
All I wanna do is stay
All I wanna do is stay
I wish that I could stay
Stop counting down the days
How bittersweet to say
I wish that I could stay
All I wanna do is stay
All I wanna do is stay
But nothing will never change the nights we stayed up
We felt our pain turn into love
A million days couldn't be enough
So I can stay, stay
