[Verse 1]
Saturday she left me
Someday, she'll return
The crowd's already gathered
To watch her memory burn
But something in me loves her
Only God knows why
Is it the way the autumn sunlight
Lit the emeralds in her eyes?
Every day she wakes me
Is the day I love her more
[Chorus]
If she would stay
If she would stay
[Verse 2]
I've seen her with her lover
It happens all the time
And I know I'm not the father
Of that precious little child
And the gold upon her finger
Matters less to her each day
And I would never leave her
She's the one, my father would say
[Chorus]
If she would stay
(I never want another)
(She's more than I could ever need)
If she would stay
(My one and only lover)
(If only she could see)
[Bridge]
'Cause I never want another
She's more than I could ever dream
My one and only lover
If only she could see
If only she could see
If only she could see me
If she would...stay
If she would stay
[Chorus]
If she would stay
I never want another
My one and only lover
She is more than I could ever dream
If she would stay
Never want another
If she would stay
If she would stay
