Letra de ' Billy Stay ' de Zach Bryan

Billy, won't you stay? You've been up all night
Talkin' 'bout flowers from '65
That print on that dress that you always liked
When 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 nothing but high hopin'
Broke and starvin', plastic ring perfect for elopin'

The years went by fast, you were so good to me
Our children have children, Billy, how could it be?
But ninety years is nothing 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
And 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

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 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 the flowers you bought
