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.
