You were the round face woman with curly hair
Closed my eyes and you were everywhere
Never thought I was the type to have a type
But you sang so sweet, I could barely breath
Let alone speak, please pardon me
I was glad and terrified that night
There were less stops than I thought when I got kicked off the train
I was so ready to walk and then in you came
Oh lover, stay and turn gray
Oh, it's been a while you know me inside out
It's hard to think of my life without you
I still get starry eyed from time to time
But I got dreams, don't let me forget
The miserable man who measured in regret
So I got to live my life with that in mind
You press your chin to my chest as you look up at me
And I can't think of a love that came so easily
Oh lover, stay and turn gray
If I've learned anything in my romantic past, it was
Love her now in case it don't last
And if it does, that will be the reason why
Cause you
You're one hell of a muse
You whispered my heart without a leash or a chain
And now it stays in the yard, it hardy ever complains
Oh, lover, stay
Oh, lover, stay
Oh, lover, stay and turn gray
