Billy Stay - Zach Bryan

作词：Zachary Lane Bryan

Billy won't you stay

We've been up all night

Talking 'bout flowers from '65

The prince on that dress

You always liked

We were young enough

To go out and dance at night

We'd cross the street

And you'd hold my hand

Same man now

That you were back then

Young kids good for nothing

But high hoping

Broken starving plastic ring

Perfect for eloping

Years went by fast

You were so good to me

Our children have children

Billy how could it be

But 90 years is nothing

To some kids like us

So baby stick around

And tell a story just because

Billy stay a while

Lately you've been slipping in and out

Billy stay a child

Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about

Billy stay a while

Tell me of the lovers who once were

Billy stay a child

Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her

Billy don't forget

Won't you keep on tryin'

I'll keep my ears open

To keep from crying

You're more handsome now

Than you were back then

And I'm the same girl you fell for

When we were kids

If love was enough

Then you'd stay forever

But I guess sometimes

That the end is better

Cause love turns to loss

As the time goes by

You don't know your own name

Cause you know mine

Billy stay a while

Lately you've been slipping in and out

Billy stay a child

Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about

Billy stay a while

Tell me of the lovers who once were

Billy stay a child

Tell me 'bout that girl and how you loved her

And you went back home

In your sleep last night

And I hear you whisper

I love you goodbye

But maybe your Heaven's 1965

With my hair in your face

On a long summer drive

To me you'll never be

The times you forgot

But all of our good times

And flowers you bought
