Vietnam in 66'
Two best freinds take a bad hit
Never saw it coming and it saw them
One was a rich boy a doctors son
The other a father a girl age one
Never had a chance to hold his daughters handNew york flat in 76'
Two good friends shoot a bad fix
Never woke up saw heaven before it saw them
One was the daughter of a prominent man
The other the mother a girl age 10
Walked in and found momma sleepin in gods handAnd she cried stay with me
Momma won't you stay hear with me
Promised you would never leave
Stay with me
Oh won't you stay here with me
Momma hold my hand and stay with meYears go by the girls 23
Had a rough go but shes on her feet
The man swept her off
Few good years the wedding ring
Wasn't enought to fullfill his dreams
Came in form work one day and said I'm leaving youShe cried stay with me
Honey won't you stay right here with me
Promised you would never leave
Stay with me
Stay right here with me
Won't you hold my hand and stay with meEmergency room #4
A woman cries out as her child is born
She stares into her eyes and says
My life has had its ups and downs
But for yours I will be around
I will always be aroundAnd she cried
Stay with me
Oh won't you stay right here with me
I promise I will never leave
Stay with me
Oh won't you stay right here withme
Child you hold my hand and stay with me
Child you hold my hand and stay with me
