Stay Because I Love You

Stay because I love you,
Play not with my heart
for it will surely break.

Don’t walk away from me,
Never leave me in the dark,
Nor cause me pain and ache.

I can never let you go
for I can’t live without you here,
I really want you by my side.

My world will stop turning
If I will be all alone
Sailing against the tide.

Remember the solemn promise
That we both uttered in faith,
Showing that our love is true.

Stand by me till the very end,
Taking my hand, my dear,
Stay because I love you.
