Promise me you’ll stay
Promise me you’ll stay, never go away
if from me you stray, my sky will be gray
not one single ray, will brighten my day;
my fears, please, allay, my tears don’t downplay
my love, don’t betray, lest my heart decay,
and crumble like clay, your loss would me slay;
goodbye never say, these words, please obey
tomorrow, today, forever, say yea
to this game we play, with me only lay,
for always, your prey, let none your love sway.
