View Lyrics
Why you should even look at anyone like me;
But I’m so glad you did,
So very glad you did,
Although I don’t know what there was to see.
And there’s no reason in the world
For you to be here now
And watch the days go by;
But I’m so glad you are,
So very glad you are,
Although I must admit I don’t see why.
For there are wiser men and younger men,
I wouldn’t blame you if you walked away;
But I feel wiser now and younger now
And so with all my heart I ask you,
“Stay.”
For we have so much more to see
And so much more to say
And so much more to do;
I think you ought to know
If I never let you go,
That I’d have ev’ry reason in the world,
You!
For I feel suddenly alive,
Aware that I’ve been touched
By something warm and new;
I think you ought to know
If I never let you go,
That I’d have ev’ry reason in the world,
You!
