Zach Bryan - Billy Stay Lyrics

Lyrics Billy Stay - Zach Bryan



Billy, won't you stay? We've been up all night
Talkin' 'bout flowers from '65
The prince on that dress that you always liked
We were young enough to go out and dance at night
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'
Broken, starvin' plastic ring, perfect for elopin'
Years went by fast, you were so good to me
Our children have children, Billy, how could it be?
But 90 years is nothin' to some kids like us
So baby, stick around and tell a story just because
Billy, stay a while
Lately you've been slippin' in and out
Billy, stay a child
Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
Billy, stay a while
Tell me of the lovers who once were
And, Billy, stay a child
Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her
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
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
Billy, stay a while
Lately you've been slippin' in and out
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
And you went back home in your sleep last night
And I heard you whisper, "I love you, goodbye"
But maybe you're Heaven's 1965
With my hair in your face on a long summer drive
To me you'll never be the times you forgot
But all of our good times and flowers you bought
