As I search this heart of mine   For words to tell you   If you give me time I swear   I'll find a way   How I've come to feel about you   I couldn't think of life without you   These words could never say      Like a fool I let my pride mislead me   In this world I call myself a man   But without your love to guide me   Who could ease the pain inside me   Somethin' only you could understand         Chorus   Stay, please stay   Oh stay, please stay   'cause I need you by my side   On this long and lonely ride   And there's so much I would give you   If you'd stay         So I search this heart of mine   For words to tell you   If you give me time I swear   I'll find a way   How I've come to feel about you   I couldn't think of life without you   What I'm feeling now   These words could never say         Chorus   Stay, please stay   Oh stay, please stay   Oh, I need you by my side   On this long and lonely ride   And there's so much I would give you   If you'd stay   There is so much I would give you   If you'd stay   I've got so much love to give you   If you'd stay         Please stay
