VERSE 1
How long has it been since you felt this way?
I thought it would last forever.
You came in my life like a hurricane
With happiness all around
But now it's started to rain.
With the sands of time falling through the hourglass,
I hoped, and I dreamed, and I prayed.
But you no longer feel love or the magic of my touch
We seem to be going our separate ways.
CHORUS
(Stay!) Boy, let's try to work it out.
(Don't go away!) I wanna make things alright.
(And I will pray) That someday you'll realize
That we were meant to be together.
(STAY!)
VERSE 2
Was it something I said or the things I did
I never thought that I was being insensitive.
Where did we go wrong?
Now that I've loved you so long.
It's hard to say goodbye, yet it's hard to hold on!
There's not a second that you're not on my mind.
Every single thought is of you.
I'm hoping, begging, praying that you'll stay by my side
Oh, please don't say it!
Please don't tell me goodbye!
CHORUS
(Stay!) Let's try to work it out!
(Don't go away!) I wanna make alright
(And I will pray) I will say my prayer
Cause we were meant to be together!
BRIDGE
(Pray) I wanna say, wanna say
(Oooooo) Ay mi amor!
(Pray) Boy let's try to work it out
(Oooooo - Stay!)
CHORUS
(Stay!) Let's try to work it out
(Don't go away) I really wanna make you feel alright
(And I will pray) I will pray night and day, don't go away!
(So won't you stay) STAY!
(Stay) We've got to try to work it out
(Don't go away) I wanna make things alright
(And I will pray) I wanna pray that you stay, of yeah
Cause we were meant to be together.........
