Long time since I've seen your smile But when I close my eyes I remember You were no more than a child But then so was I Young and tender Time carries on I guess it always will But deep inside my heart Time stands still [Chorus:] Stay for awhile Well it's good to see Your smile And I love your company Stay for awhile And remember the days gone by For a moment it can seem Just the way it used to be Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts Clear summer days Warm and lazy Long walks, long talks, after dark We vowed we'd never forget Now it's hazy Time takes its toll And time alters our view It would be nice to Spend some time with you [Chorus:]
