Lyrics

[Verse 1] Billy, won't you stay? You've been up all night Talkin' 'bout flowers from '65 The print on that dress that you always liked When we were young enough to go out and dance at night [Verse 2] We'd cross the street and you'd hold my hand Same man now that you were back then Young kids, good for nothin' but high hopin' Broke and starvin', plastic ring perfect for elopin' [Verse 3] The years went by fast, you were so good to me Our children have children, Billy, how could it be? But ninety years is nothin' to some kids like us So, baby, stick around and tell a story just because [Chorus] Billy, stay a while Lately, you've been slippin' in and out Billy, stay a child Tell mе 'bout that girl you dreamed about Billy, stay a while Tеll me of the lovers who once were Billy, stay a child Tell me 'bout that girl and how you loved her [Verse 4] Billy, don't forget, won't you keep on tryin'? I'll keep my ears open to keep from cryin' You're more handsome now than you were back then And I'm the same girl you fell for when we were kids [Verse 5] If love was enough, then you'd stay forever But I guess sometimes that the end is better 'Cause love turns to loss as the time goes by You don't know your own name, but you know mine [Chorus] Billy, stay a while Lately, you've been slippin' in and out And, Billy, stay a child Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about Billy, stay a while Tell me of the lovers who once were Billy, stay a child Tell me 'bout that girl and how you loved her [Outro] You went back home in your sleep last night And I heard you whisper, "I love you, goodbye" But maybe your heaven's 1965 With your hair in my face on a warm summer drive To me, you'll never be the times you forgot But all of our good times and the flowers you bought [Spoken] Thank you guys so much
