It's hard to believe,
Where we are now.
Your hand in mine, babe,
Feels right somehow.
The night is so still
So don't make a sound.
'Cause its almost perfect, baby
So, promise you"ll never look down.

'Cause we've had our past, I know
Just leave that behind.
'Cause none of it lasts,
All that we have is tonight.

'Cause you're not the only one,
Who's ever felt this way.
Don't let the world cave in,
Just tell me that you'll stay.

Now that the pain is done,
There's no need to be afraid.
We don't have time to waste,
Just tell me that you'll stay.

Beautiful, one of a kind.
You're something special babe,
And you don't even realize
That your my hearts desire.

All I need and more
Girl I know you're scared,
But I promise, babe,
I'm not who I was before.

'Cause you're not the only one,
Who's ever felt this way.
Don't let the world cave in,
Just tell me that you'll stay.

Now that the pain is done,
No need to be afraid.
We don't have time to waste,
Just tell me that you'll stay.

'Cause you're not the only one,
Who's ever felt this way.
Don't let the world cave in,
Just tell me that you'll stay.

Now that the pain is done,
No need to be afraid.
We don't have time to waste,
Just tell me that you'll stay.

Tell me, tell me you'll stay.
No, tell me.
Tell me that you'll stay.
