If I could, I would, but you know I can't lie to you If I could, I'd say, "If you say so, then I'll say yes" The sun burns so bright I can't see hurt in your eyes The moon buries itself behind the clouds I can't tell what you're thinking about Will you let me stay for a while? Don't forget me, please don't cry Just hold me close, and don't let go until I say so Will you think of me when you smile? Do old memories bring tears to your eyes? Just hold me close, and don't let go until I say so If you would, then I would be here for you when you need me If you would, then I would not do the things that made you leave me The stars flash and burn out But I feel your eyes burn into me The rainbow brightens up the day And leaves me hanging onto a few words to say Will you let me stay for a while? Don't forget me, please don't cry Just hold me close, and don't let go until I say so Will you think of me when you smile? Do old memories bring tears to your eyes? Just hold me close, and don't let go until I say so You only cross my mind every second every day I need to unwind before I fade away Will you let me stay for a while? Don't forget me, please don't cry Just hold me close, and don't let go until I say so Will you think of me when you smile Do old memories bring tears to your eyes? Just hold me close, and don't let go until I say so Don't let go until I say so
