i´ll send away all my false pride
and i´ll forsake all of my life.
yes, i´ll be as true, as true can be
if you´ll come and stay with me.

lovers of the past i´ll leave behind,
there´ll never be another on my mind.
i´ll do all i can so you´ll feel free
if you´ll come and stay with me.

the promises i made most faithfully,
i´ll keep still, should you decide to leave.
i´ll try and see that you have all you need
if you´ll come and stay with me.

we´ll live a life no one has ever known,
but i know you´re thinking that i´m hardly grown.
but oh, thank god, at last and finally
i can see you´re gonna stay with me.

but oh, thank god, at last and finally
i can see you´re gonna stay with me.
