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 the 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 awhile don't forget me please don't cry just hold me close 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 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 on to a few words to say will you let me stay for awhile don't forget me please don't cry just hold me close 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 don't let go until i say so you only cross my mind every second everyday i need to unwind before i fade away will you let me stay for awhile don't forget me please don't cry just hold me close 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
