Stay

If only
You could hold me
I love it when you send your love, raining down
I wish that you could hold my hand
And say, it'll be alright
It'll be alright

Hey there how you doing, I know it's been awhile
Another year has passed I guess I'm wiser now
If you been keepings eyes on me
You know what's going on
The world has gone to shit
And we're surviving on our own

I never had your help
I wish I had it now
I never paid attention
Wish I listened now
I was too busy thinking the money made you proud
Finally I came home and you were nowhere to be found

But if seeing is believing
Then I guess I see the truth
Cause No matter where I go
I swear I'm always feeling you
If I'm at work or on the road
I know you're by my side
Even where I lay my head at night

And I can't help look for you when I close my eyes
I wonder will you be in my dreams tonight
My only hope is that I'll see you smiling
While I hold myself to sleep to stop from crying

So won't you pray for me
Tell me won't you, stay with me
Tell me would you, send your love raining down
I wish that you could hold my hand
And say it'll be alright
I want you to come home now
but i'm glad that you're home

But won't you pray for me
Tell me won't you stay with me
Ohh
I wish that you could hold my hand
And say, it'll be alright
It'll be alright

I remember waking up on Christmas eve
Catch my momma putting presents under the tree
But as much as there was good times
There was bad times too
Like the clothes you had lit
Told me to light some too and I
Didn't protest I wasn't raised like that
Just put my head down and kept my mouth shut
Just like you taught me
Just like you taught me

But if only that you knew
Shit, You smoke I smoke too
You were mad that I started
But I got that shit from you
And I know that you're not perfect
But before you left this earth
I wish I knew the things that made you just the way you were
Cause without them you wouldn't be in my life
And without them I never would've seen the light
I hope now you can get some peace in heaven
I'll meet you in my dreams at 11

So won't you pray for me
Tell me won't you, stay with me
Tell me would you, send your love raining down
Oh, I wish that you could hold my hand
And say it'll be alright
It'll be alright

But won't you stay with me
And pray for me
I wish that you could hold my hand
And say it'll be alright
It'll be alright, yeah
