If I could I would but you know I can't lie to you If I could I'd say You say so and I'll say yes 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 a while? 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? 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 burning through me The rainbow brightens up the day Leaves me hanging on to the few words you say Will you let me stay for a while? 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? 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 every day I need to unwind before I fade away Will you let me stay for a while? 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? Old memories bring tears to your eyes Just hold me close Don't let go until I say so
