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
