Verse 1:

Take a walk with me a while, just stay awake with me a while, I
Can’t help but notice, all the chances you’ve been missing, to just
Be together, not forever, all that I know is in a while, I’ll be gone away.
And I don’t want to leave that way,
Without giving you the chance to stay, and

Chorus:

Watch the sunset by the lake, loving each moment, each breath we take,
Not thinking ‘bout the next day, but just hoping that the next move we make will
Hold this moment deep within our hearts, so even if we’re far apart,
We know that we’ll be back again someday, so all I ask is that you
Stay.

Verse 2:

Sit and talk with me a while, just give me the chance to make you smile,
That look, as it crawls up on your face, it takes my breath away,
Makes me wanna move a little closer, rest my arm around your shoulder,
Makes me wanna beg for more, now baby, baby please don’t go.
We won’t be here forever,
So why don’t we just spend this moment together, and

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Stay a while with me, let’s get down deep to the core
Of this love we’ve never felt before.
Hold onto me.
You know I’ll never let you go, you’ll never be alone,
You’ll always have a hand to hold, in the dark and cold.
And if you’re ever feeling lonely, just know that you can always call me,
And I can help you to remember the days that we would

(Chorus) – add at “deep within our hearts” – repeat afterwards.
Addendum:

Watch the stars shoot across the sky,
The only stars I see are in your eyes,
When you lean right over, put your lips on mine, what a sweet surprise.

(End Chorus) - Outro
