Lyrics

Sat on my bed and (G)looked in my eyes;

saw I was griev ing for (G)some oth er time.

Stood on my breath and (G)moved close to say,

“Oh, won’t you love me?

Let’s (G)walk out to play.”

(C)Ooh, we caught the moon

from the sky

and wrapped it up with the love

that we found

in our eyes.

And if the (Dm)words don’t tell me you love me and if the (Em)night won’t hold us as one.

Now there is (Dm)noth ing left that can numb me.

Do you love me, or do I run?

Why don’t you ask me to stay?

Ask me to stay?

Ask me to stay?

Ask me to stay?
