Stay With Me Tonight - Freddie McGregor

Houston Calls-Stay With Me Tonight
My mind is racing at a mile a minute.
It's losing to the lonely hearts
of a thousand wishful lovers running in my shoes.
They're running circles around my morals.
Anytime, I would be there for you.
Open your eyes, I'm here and waiting for you.
Biting my tongue 'til the perfect moment.
A bittersweet chase that's slowing me down.
Look at me tonight – it's all I need now.
You've painted pictures of some beautiful still life,
But this one's better, it's so much better than
The ones I dream of as I cross the Atlantic –
a jaded lover and a hopeless romantic.
Anytime, I would be there for you.
Open your eyes, I'm here and waiting for you.
Biting my tongue 'til the perfect moment.
A bittersweet chase that's slowing me down.
Look at me tonight – it's all I need now.
"Until you're sure you mean it just wait to say it."
Don't you remember that's advice you gave me?
Stay with me tonight.
You're safe here.
I know you can't believe, dear, that I would say this
But once-upon-a-time's can happen and
all you have to do is grab them.
Stay near. I hate to make you wait, dear. I'd never want to.
But what's a boy supposed to do when happy-
ever-afters might come true?
Biting my tongue 'til the perfect moment.
A bittersweet chase that's slowing me down.
Look at me tonight – it's all I need now.
"Until you're sure you mean it just wait to say it."
Don't you remember that's advice you gave me?
Stay with me tonight
