Stay Lyrics
Where have you been,
My long lost friend?
It's good to see you again.
Come and sit for a while
I've missed your smile.
Today the past is goodbye.
Time can't erase
A lover's embrace.
Can't you hear it calling?
A new day dawning
You were longing to find.
Love's taken you far
Away from my heart,
And I've been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What took you from mine,
A vision that's faded through time?
But you sailed away,
A fine summer's day,
Cause you heard it calling,
A new day dawning,
You were longing to find.
Chorus:
There is a way to make you stay.
Darlin don't turn away.
Don't doubt your heart
and keep us apart
I'm right where you are
Stay.
There is a way to make you stay.
Darlin don't turn away.
Don't doubt your heart
and keep us apart
I'm right where you are
Stay
My long lost friend?
It's good to see you again.
Come and sit for a while
I've missed your smile.
Today the past is goodbye.
Time can't erase
A lover's embrace.
Can't you hear it calling?
A new day dawning
You were longing to find.
Away from my heart,
And I've been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What took you from mine,
A vision that's faded through time?
But you sailed away,
A fine summer's day,
Cause you heard it calling,
A new day dawning,
You were longing to find.
There is a way to make you stay.
Darlin don't turn away.
Don't doubt your heart
and keep us apart
I'm right where you are
Stay.
Darlin don't turn away.
Don't doubt your heart
and keep us apart
I'm right where you are
Stay

This is a beautiful song, and always make me feel sad when i hear it. Alison Krauss has a gorgeous voice, listen to When You Say Nothing At All, another great song from her. This song is especially sad to me at the moment because my boyfriend broke up with me last week and the lyrics really say what i want to say to him :(
The dobro solo is class, Jerry Douglas is the dogs.
