Stay With Me Lyrics - Poison

Vietnam was '66 

Two best friends take a bad hit 

And never saw it come 

But it's all there 

One was a rich boy, a doctors son 

The other the father of a girl age one 

Never had the change to hold his daughters hand 

New york flat in '76 

Two girlfriends shoot a bad fix 

Never woke up saw heaven before it saw them 

One was a daughter of a prominent man 

The other the mother of a girl age ten 

Who walked in and saw mama sleeping in gods hands 

And she cried 

Chorus 

Stay with me 

Mama won't you stay here with me 

You promised you would never leave 

Stay with me 

Oh won't you stay here with me 

Mama, hold my had and stay with me 

Years go by, the girl's 23 

Had a rough go, but she's on her feet 

The man so rough 

A few good years, a wedding ring 

Wasn't enough to fulfill his dreams 

He came home from work one day and said I'm leaving you 

She cried... 

Chorus 

Stay with me, honey 

Won't you stay right here with me 

You promised you would never leave 

Stay with me, whoa whoa 

Stay right here with me 

Won't you hold my hand stay with me 

Emergency room, number four 

A woman cried out as the child is born 

She stares into eyes and says 

My life's had it's ups and downs 

But for yours I will be around 

I will always be around 

And she cried 

Chorus 

Stay with me, whoa whoa 

Won't you stay right here with me 

I promise I will never leave 

Stay with me, oh 

Won't you stay right here with me 

Child, you hold my had stay with me 

Child, you hold my hand stay with me.
