"Stay Forever" (Verse 1) I never knew love could feel this way Like a fire burning night and day Every touch, every look you give Feels like a reason just to live (Pre-Chorus) But time moves fast, like waves on the shore Still, I just want you more and more (Chorus) Stay forever, don’t let go Hold me close, don’t let the night get cold With you here, I’ve found my home Stay forever, don’t leave me alone (Verse 2) Every heartbeat whispers your name Without you, nothing feels the same You’re the light when my skies turn gray The only one I’d beg to stay (Pre-Chorus) But time moves fast, like waves on the shore Still, I just want you more and more (Chorus) Stay forever, don’t let go Hold me close, don’t let the night get cold With you here, I’ve found my home Stay forever, don’t leave me alone (Bridge) No matter where life takes us two My heart will always beat for you Through every storm, through every high I’ll be yours until the end of time (Outro) So stay forever, don’t walk away Promise me you’ll always stay Pp
