Couldn't you stay

Life was so wonderful,
till you walked my way.
I walked after you,
kept the world at bay.

And then you turned and smiled,
made me weak in the knees.
I couldn't help it,
you just walked into life, out of my dreams.

A beautiful fairy,
with the smile of an angel.
As I saw you daily,
you grew less stranger.

Life was so wonderful,
till you walked my way.
I walked after you,
kept the world at bay.

You felt just right,
more love, less danger.
And that night,
when you were ginger.

I felt love,
like it was for life.
I proposed you,
to be my wife.

You looked into my eyes,
and the Yes in them.
It felt like you would complete me,
Could never think you would leave me!


Life was so wonderful,
till you walked my way.
I walked after you,
kept the world at bay.


I saw you,
as you walked away.
Taking my heart with you.
Couldn't you stay?
