Song Lyrics

I Would Have You Stay

by Silvia Hartmann

You belong to no-one
but yourself and the stars
you live for no-one but yourself
but for me you had a power
for my life you were a key
and baby, I would have you stay.

From the moment we began,
we were never meant to be
forever through sickness and through health
to be sure you never promised,
to be fair I never asked
but baby, I would have you stay

Now I'm standing in the doorway
as I watch you carelessly
putting your belongings in a bag
and if every book, each Tshirt
life recedes a step from me
and baby, oh I would have you stay.

And I hear you say "That's it"
and you look up and I see
the excitement of the road caught in your eyes
I must move to let you pass
through the door and on your way
but baby I would have you stay

And I try to smile at you
but there's nothing I can say
only, baby, I would have you stay.
