Couldn't Stay

Couldn't Stay

His eyes were blue
With flecks of gray
He'd make me laugh
On the hardest days
He'd sit with me
And a bottle of wine
We'd watch tv
To pass the time

But the days grew longer
As our time grew shorter
I could feel he was slipping away from me
And I wanted to touch him
And I wanted to beg him
To give me one more day...

But he couldn't stay
He couldn't stay
But that's ok
Everyone leaves in the end anyway

We had our fights
And our share of pain
But he held my hand
On that November day
I hope that he knows
That I wish him the best
And of all of the men I've loved
He'll be the one I won't regret

But the days grew longer
As our time grew shorter
I could feel he was slipping away from me
And I wanted to touch him
And I wanted to beg him
To give me one more day...

But he couldn't stay
He couldn't stay
But that's ok
Everyone leaves in the end anyway



Did he not know the way he looked at me
Would change my life and everything?
I still have trouble trying to believe
A man like that could ever have felt for me...

But the days grew longer
As our time grew shorter
I could feel he was slipping away from me
And I wanted to touch him
And I wanted to beg him
To give me one more day...

But he couldn't stay
He couldn't stay
But that's ok
Everyone leaves in the end anyway
