Beautiful Tattoo Stay With Me

This song was inspired by a friend who is considering a tattoo in memory of a loved one. Do whatever it takes to hold on to your good memories. Love trumps sadness. 

Beautiful tattoo 
(Stay with me)

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
With me
With me
And let's be free

Let's be free together
Forever, and ever
Let's be free together
Come on
Come on

Such a beautiful tattoo
Filled with ashes all from you
Don't want to let you go
Just yet
Just yet

So...
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Some more
Just a little longer
Hold on a little longer

Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Not just in my dreams
Just a little longer
And hold on for good

Please stay for good
Please stay for good
With me
With me
And be free

Such a beautiful tattoo
Filled with ashes all from you
Don't want to let you go
Ever
Ever

So, why'd you have to go
Away to another world
Can't seem to fill the void
Of you
Of you

It's true, so true
The world's less beautiful
Less beautiful without you
Without you

So...
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Some more
Just a little longer
Hold on a little longer

Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay with me
Not just in my dreams
Just a little longer
And hold on for good

Hold on for good
