Sunrise in paradise
The sun and the moon ahead
Hands that reach out for more
Looking for love again
October ended with a chill
A different kind than I'm used to
And if this should be the last time
That we are to meet
Won't you stay awhile longer
Long enough to feel
Just a little while longer
(Ooh) Even if you're not here
You mistook her kindness
As some sort of truth
A midnight forgotten
As black decays blue
You were made of warmth
A smile that lit up the room
You were just adored
By all who knew you
And if this should be the last time
That we are to meet
So won't you stay awhile longer
Long enough to feel
(Ooh) Just a little while longer
(Ooh) Even if you're not here
And although it's meant to be
Doesn't mean that it will
See time is a funny thing
And with it comes guilt
And now I look for you
In pieces of myself
Roaming throughout my mind
Collections of ourselves
(Ooh)
Won't you stay awhile longer
Long enough to feel
(Ooh) Just a little while longer
(Ooh) Even if you're not here
And I'm just a body
That's covered in tears
No, this can't be forgotten
Regardless of the years
You were the best of us
Unaware of your worth
And I'll think of you fondly
In sunsets on earth
