I'll Stay

from Honor the Father by The Restoration

/

lyrics

Narrator: Diana Colly Bright, 1940

Roman, I can’t say why I let you dance with me
When you knew only the wrong things to say.
It was funny, heaven knows,
But I felt sorry, so I stayed.

I fell for your sheepish grin—the way you’d squeeze my hand
And stare at me like I might float away.
There were tears too, I suppose.
But I loved you, so I stayed.

A wedding—
A new town—
A cottage in the woods—
Our little wall to keep the wicked world away.
You’re difficult, you know,
But you love me, so I’ll stay.
