Billy won't you stay? You've been up all night
Talking 'bout flowers from '65
That print on that dress that you always liked
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 hoping
Broken, starving plastic ring
Perfect for eloping

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 slipping 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

Billy don't forget, won't you keep on tryin'?
I'll keep my ears open to keep from crying
And 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 slipping in and out
Hey, 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

And 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 your hair in my face on a warm summer drive 
To me you'll never be the times you forgot 
But all of our good times and the flowers you bought

Thank you guys so much
