Please Stay
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before
This time be different
Please stay dont go
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears
Knowing I need you so
Would you still turn and go
This time be different in some way
Dont go please stay
You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang my head when I think how you lied
But I still can be saved by your kiss
I loved you before I even knew your name
I wanted to give you my heart
But when you came back after leaving me one time
Oh I knew, yes I knew that the heartaches would start
If I told you my life was a song
That was written for you, you alone
Would you hurt all my pride
Oh, till I cry this time be different
Please stay
Oh, this time be different in some way
Dont go please stay

Dont Stay Home
Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
Im only sayin this cuz I wish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration
I thinks its such a shame
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Oh how Id like to diffuse your time bomb anger
Its screaming danger danger this kind of world
Dont care if youre home so you better get some
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Everything Im sayin you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past christmas
I deserved to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
Hey dont break the mold kid just eat around it
Yeah thats what I did
Ill be running around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin youll catch me doin in any season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out
Biddy by by by by
Good-bye to the drout, yea
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home

I turned my back on the world.
When your new day starts without me.
Let your eyes no tears to fall.
It's the choosen way that is all.
The angel came to get me.
And took her hand to leave this world.
As I turned to walk away a tear left my eye.
When I knew my loved ones would stay behind.
It was then that I realised they'd come with me in my heart.
Just as I would stay with them in theirs.
All my life I had pain.
In my eyes it was forever stained.
So I choose to turn my back on the world.
And leave with the angel sent for me.
If there was another way for me to stay,
Belive me I would have stayed.
And my life would not have faded away.
Dont worry about me now,
Dont you cry no tears.
I'm in heaven above.
And we are not far apart.
I'll allways be in your heart.
I had to go when I heard god call.
It was my time to go.

Dont Throw It All Away
(g. benson/d. mindel)
Here we go
Breaking up what we have built
Leaving out all the things that we have felt
Where was i, where was I before you came
From the first time that I saw you
I thought
Maybe i
Maybe I did something wrong
How I tried
But the words wont fit the song
Found the door
But I could not find the key
From the first time that I saw you
I thought that you may be
So dont throw it all away
I dont wanna be the one whos gonna have to beg you stay
I dont wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Dont throw it all away
Though it seems
That I just take it out on you
Dont you know
Only you can get me through
Found the door
Now I know that youre the key
From the first time that I saw you
I knew that you may be
So dont throw it all away
I dont wanna be the one whos gonna have to beg you stay
I dont wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Dont throw it all away
Dont throw it all away
Please stay

The Last Time
Make it the last time, make it the last time
Make it the last time, oh darling please.
But I dont understand why you always pick the time
When Ive just talked to you with your love on my mind.
To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn
To leave me one more time, I cant stand no more.
Say no more, well no more,
Well no more, darling, please.
And every time you leave I make the very same vow
That when you come back I aint gonna love you no how.
But when you return you look so fine to me
I cant stand no more, my darling, its just got to be
I said the last time, oh the last time,
Oh the last time, darling, please.
Dont you understand me, dont you understand me ?
Honey, dont you understand my word ?
Well, you told me that you love me, I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know its true.
Hold on to my heart, Ill believe it till youre leaving
Then Ill cry.
Oh darling, oh darling,
Oh darling, make up your mind
Oh, I cant stand your loving, honey, its tearing me apart,
You done got my soul, but now youre after my heart.
Well, dont hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well
I got one consolation, I just wail
It was the last time
It was the last time
It was the last time, darling, please.
When you told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know its true.
Hold on to my heart, Ill believe it till youre leaving
Then Ill cry.
Well no more, well no more,
Well no more without you, please!
If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home,
If you dont wanna love me, baby, please stay gone.
Dont you understand me, dont you understand me ?
Dont you understand my words ?
Say no more, oh no more,
Well no more, oh, darling, oh!
You told me that you love me I believed you, darling,
But you lied, you know its true.
Hold on to my heart, Ill believe it till youre leaving
Then Ill cry, yeah.

Stay Away
You gave me too many chances, now its drivin us apart
I keep on runnin with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, cause you never let it show
I know Im hanging on the edge now, but I wont let go
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet Im trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart
If you gave me three wishes, Id throw two of them away
Ive seen that look in your eye girl, Id use the last one this way
Weve been from rags to riches, but your love cant be bought
Im just a junkyard dog, girl, whos afraid hes been caught
Youre standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldnt be further from the truth
Stay away, stay away from my heart - Im doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Remember how it used to be girl, makin love like its the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what wed found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down
(instrumental break)
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, Im doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart...

Just Cant Stay Away
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time Ive ever wanted to get away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just cant stay away from you, baby, (from you) ooh, yeah
You see, I just cant stay away from you
Let me tell you Ive been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh lord, you know they warned me
They said youre no good for me, but I just ignored it
Yes I did, cause I didnt have time, no time to sit around and decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
Theres not much you can do
So you see thats why I (just cant) just cant stay away (stay away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh baby
Hold me darling, hold (just cant) me darling, I cant stay away from (stay away) you
I dont wanna (from you) from you
Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, baby
(when you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah) years ago
That when love gets in your blood, youll find its hard to let go
And oh, I (just cant) baby, I (stay away)
Cant (from you) you see it in my eyes
cause Im wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I (just cant) I dont wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
Its not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and i
(just cant) thats exactly why I (stay away)
Cant stay away (from you) from you
Oh cause Im wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, Im down on my knees, (I just cant) hold me darling
Im (stay away) begging you please, hold me, darling
(from you) cause I just cant stay from you, baby, no, no...

With a kiss in the air
For the gods to receive

Confrontations in my mind
Got me running out of time
Dont let go

Explain It To My Heart
I understand theres no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now youve made it clear
Itll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now weve got to say good-bye and Ive got to be strong
So tell me one more time how its better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how well hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling theres just one more thing
Before you walk away
(chorus)
Explain it to my heart
Its better that were over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that its supposed to be
Tell me that Im better off without you
How its better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now wont you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we cant stay together and I might convince my mind
But its breaking my heart to know Ive got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love Ive known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that its better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do i
(chorus)
Say that Ill be better
If we dont stay together
Say that Ill be better off free
But dont say it to me
Explain it to my heart...

She Didnt Believe
Hes going back to georgia
Because he knows time and time has come
Dont even know if shell be waiting
Because hes been gone for way too long
How long will you stay
Boy you dont got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay
Saving time losing grace
She believed every word he told her
About the troubles and how they start
She didnt listen to the laughter
She only listened to her heart
How long will you stay
Boy you dont got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay
Saving time losing grace
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
He made a promise to no one
That he could right a wrong
He wanted to do something just
But he was just gone
How long will you stay
Boy you dont got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay
Saving time losing grace
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
She didnt believe believe believe
She didnt believe what they told her about her lover
Nothing left bet her tears and theirs were laughter

Time To Go
When a family is leaving
You choose a side
And keep things to remember them
Even if they do the worse things
Feel no pain
Always love them
Share the time you have left
You never know when it will be over
Even though this is their fate
The bond we share is thicker than blood
I would make you stay if i could
I want you to stay with me please dont go
The tears i cry flood the ground
I can not let go
Its not your time
I dont want you to go
But i guess its not my call
They cant take you
Your all i have
What will i do
If your not here with me
Who will i call
When im alone
I cant live life
Without you by my side
Just stay with me
Dont let him take you away
Is not your time
Without you i cant survive
Your all i have in this world
Dont leave me
As i stand with you
In your final moments
I begin to cry she says to me
Ill always be inside your heart
To guide you and protect you
Im sorry this has to happen
And i can no longer be with you
But its my time to go
The last moments pass
Her eyes begin to close as she enters a deep sleep
One i know she will never wake up from
I feel my heart split in two
As i cry i hold her hand
She says i love you and fades away
I say i love you softly as if she were still here with me
But i know shes gone it was her time to go
I just cant understand why now was her time to go

This world is full of lies

The good lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, thats life, thats life
Stay, stay, stay, stay (wont you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay

Where theres pain, theres got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt

Aint It Just Like You
Girl your bags are packed
And you aint coming back is written on them
Take these memories with you
Theyre just sad, and theyre blue and I dont want them
Oh youre not so sure that youre in love anymore
And I aint gonna beg you to stay
Aint it just like you to leave
Aint it just like me to let you walk away
I hold a tender place in my heart for you and you know it
Ive never said it out loud
Guess I was too proud to ever show it
We always thought some night that we might get it right
But that aint going to happen today
Aint it just like you to leave
Aint it just like me to let you walk away
Honey you must think my heart is a revolving door
The way you come and go as you please
I dont know if I should give up or try
Or get down on my knees
Aint it just like me to pray
Aint it just like you to turn and walk away
Here you are at my door
Youre wanting in, youre wanting more and its open
You win me over with that grin
So I let you on in, and Im hopin
That this time you might stay forever
But baby that just aint your style
Aint it just like you to smile
Aint it just like me to let you stay awhile
Oh you must think my heart is a revolving door
The way you come and go as you please
And I dont know if I should give up or try
Or get down on my knees
Aint it just like me to pray
Aint it just like you to make me feel this way
Aint it just like you to smile
Aint it just like me to let you stay awhile

And you aint coming back is written on them

If I Were You
The tenth of may
It seems so far away
When you and I were strangers moving close together
Sometimes it seems
Its almost like a dream
Driving across the country and the road is endless
If I were you
Dont wait until tomorrow
Id lead and wouldnt follow
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
The first of june
The summer came too soon
But from the day we met I knew youd never go away
Sometimes I feel
The passions not so real
Finding it strange to be together, not alone
If I were you
Id smile and close the door
Id never ask for more
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
Fourth of july
With an independent sigh
I think the times arrived to take whats going to happen
Wise men may say
Its easier to stay
But if you are there Im only wasting time
If I were you
I know Id want to hurt me
It wouldnt disconcert me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Id leave if I were you

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But Im too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Please Hold On
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Ive heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie youve told me
Id be a righ man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lads constant cruisin
Expains the tears
The lonely path shes choosin
If I didnt love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, dont you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, dont you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

Dont Tie My Hands
Long-lost, gone
I can tell by the way you carry on
And its now I see
After all of this time what its done to me
Cant you see? I cant go free
If you make me watch you cry one more time
Once more I walk away, once more I hear you say
Once more please try to stay, once more I may
Dont tie my hands, dont lock that door
Dont make me stand for this love anymore
Please let me leave, dont start making that scene
Dont crush me in between

Now it turns out I have to say goodbye
And I dont see why

Staying Together
You cant go boy
Weve been over it a hundred times but this ones different
This time Im not asking what you think
Im telling you
Were staying together
Whether you like it or not
Here we go!
Verse 1:
If you thought that I would get up and go
Oh baby got something you should know
I got one thing on my mind
Thats staying together
Oh and Ill tell you boy, it just isnt right
I wont say goodbye without a fight
cause you and me are staying together
Chorus:
Dont you say goodbye to me boy
Theres something you should know
Heres love before your eyes
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
Its like I told you before
Lets stay together
Verse 2:
Oh, if you thought that I would stand by your side
You know me boy, I never lied
Cause you and me are staying together
Oh it was so much more than love at first sight
Please say youll stay, say you might
Then say we are staying together
Chorus
Bridge:
Cause I dont know baby what youve done, dont know
(I only know baby, I only know)
You were always the only one
(oh please dont go baby, oh please dont go)
Dont take my heart away from me
And leave me out in the cold baby
(out in the cold baby)
Cause youre the only one, cause youre the only one
Who could ever hold me
Now heres love
Ooo ooo
Heres love before your eyes
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
So lets stay together
Dont you say it, dont you say it, dont you say it
Dont you say goodbye to me boy
(heres love) its right before your eyes
Dont even think about it!
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
Its like I told you before

Even In The Quietest Moments
Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain --- here it comes again, dear
And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For theres a shadow of doubt thats not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh lord, I want to be with you.
Wont you let me come in from the cold?
Dont you let the sun fade away
Dont you let the sun fade away
Dont you let the sun be leaving
Wont you come to me soon
And even though the stars are listening
And the oceans deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create a silent movie
You become the star, is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling Im natures own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
Theyre raining from the sky
Well theres a lot of me got to go under before I get high
Dont you let the sun disappear
Dont you let the sun disappear
Dont you let the sun be leaving
No, you cant be leaving my life
Say that you wont be leaving my life
Say that you wont be leaving my life
Say wont you please, stay wont you please
Say wont you please, stay wont you please
Lord, wont you come and get into my life
Lord, wont you come and get into my life
Say wont you please, stay wont you please
Say wont you please, stay wont you please
Lord, dont go
And even when the song is over
Where have I been --- was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin --- may I please come in, dear?

Dont Walk Away
Why do I say, dont walk away
Youll be the way you were before, when you dont want me anymore
Dont turn around, dont ever leave, a lonely room where empty days
Are gathering to meet me when youre gone, gone
How in the world will I go on
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay (dont walk away)
Chorus:
Dont walk away (dont walk away), dont say goodbye (dont say goodbye)
Dont turn around (dont turn around), dont let it die (dont let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Dont walk away
Is it a dream, when will it end
When everything weve ever known has ended and Im all alone
Where will I go, where will I be, the feelings that Ive never shown
Maybe Ill find the answer when youre gone, gone
How in the world will I go on
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay (dont walk away)
