Darling, Stay by Me!
In humble supplication, I plead on bended knee
don't walk away and leave me - darling stay by me!
Our troubles and our hardships have hardened both our hearts,
but time and peace - togetherness - can work-out missing parts.
My need for you is heightened - by every passing hour.
The days have turned to ashes - the nights are bleak and dour.
Memories of you linger 'round every door and wall,
(I even hear your footsteps and see you in the hall.)
Oh love! I beg and beg you - please, don't you turn away.
Let's start anew - discard the past - remove the skies of gray.
It only takes a "trying" - to put two hearts in tune.
We need reminding now and then - of "what we had in June".
So, dearest, please forgive me - for any wrong or crime,
or lack of understanding, which can so - our souls begrime.
Say you WILL forgive me - please turn around and stay.
Release my bond - return to me - begin another day.
