[Verse 1]
Billy, won't you stay? You've been up all night
Talkin' 'bout flowers from '65
That print on that dress that you always liked
When we were young enough to go out and dance at night
[Verse 2]
We'd cross the street and you'd hold my hand
Same man now that you were back then
Young kids, good for nothing but high hopin'
Broke and starvin', plastic ring perfect for elopin'
[Verse 3]
The years went by fast, you were so good to me
Our children have children, Billy, how could it be?
But ninety years is nothing to some kids like us
So, baby stick around and tell a story just because
[Chorus]
Billy, stay a while
Lately you've been slippin' in and out
Billy, stay a child
And tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
Billy stay a while
Tell me of the lovers who once were
And Billy, stay a child
Tell me 'bout that girl and how you loved her
Billy, won't you stay? You've been up all night
Talkin' 'bout flowers from '65
That print on that dress that you always liked
When we were young enough to go out and dance at night
[Verse 2]
We'd cross the street and you'd hold my hand
Same man now that you were back then
Young kids, good for nothing but high hopin'
Broke and starvin', plastic ring perfect for elopin'
[Verse 3]
The years went by fast, you were so good to me
Our children have children, Billy, how could it be?
But ninety years is nothing to some kids like us
So, baby stick around and tell a story just because
[Chorus]
Billy, stay a while
Lately you've been slippin' in and out
Billy, stay a child
And tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
Billy stay a while
Tell me of the lovers who once were
And Billy, stay a child
Tell me 'bout that girl and how you loved her
